 ====== JavaScript - Date format ====== ====== JavaScript - Date format ======
 +
 +JavaScript provides a bunch of [[http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference:Global_Objects:Date#Methods|methods for getting and setting parts of a date object]], but it lacks a simple way to format dates and times according to a user-specified mask.
 +
 +[[http://php.net/date|PHP]]'s date function and ColdFusion's discrete [[http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/functions_c-d_29.html|dateFormat]] and [[http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/functions_t-z_02.html|timeFormat]] functions provide good approaches to follow.
 +
 +PHP uses a crazy mix of letters to represent various date entities.  It does offer the advantages that you can apply both date and time formatting with one function, and that none of the special characters overlap.
 +
 +ColdFusion on the other hand have conflicting letters where m and mm mean different things depending on whether you're dealing with dates or times. On the other hand, ColdFusion uses very easy to remember special characters for masks.
 +
 +With my date formatter, I've tried to take the best features from both, and add some sugar of my own. It did end up a lot like the ColdFusion implementation though, since I've primarily used CF's mask syntax.
