Ext.Date singleton

DAY : String

Date interval constant.

Defaults to:

"d"

dayNames : String[]

An array of textual day names. Override these values for international dates.

Example:

Ext.Date.dayNames = [
    'SundayInYourLang',
    'MondayInYourLang'
    // ...
];

DAYS_IN_WEEK : Number

The number of days in a week.

Defaults to:

7

defaultFormat : String

The date format string that the Ext.util.Format#dateRenderer and Ext.util.Format#date functions use. See Ext.Date for details.

This may be overridden in a locale file.

Defaults to:

"m/d/Y"

defaults : Object

An object hash containing default date values used during date parsing.

The following properties are available:

• y: Number - The default year value. Defaults to undefined.
• m: Number - The default 1-based month value. Defaults to undefined.
• d: Number - The default day value. Defaults to undefined.
• h: Number - The default hour value. Defaults to undefined.
• i: Number - The default minute value. Defaults to undefined.
• s: Number - The default second value. Defaults to undefined.
• ms: Number - The default millisecond value. Defaults to undefined.

Override these properties to customize the default date values used by the parse method.

Note: In countries which experience Daylight Saving Time (i.e. DST), the h, i, s and ms properties may coincide with the exact time in which DST takes effect. It is the responsibility of the developer to account for this.

Example Usage:

// set default day value to the first day of the month
Ext.Date.defaults.d = 1;

// parse a February date string containing only year and month values.
// setting the default day value to 1 prevents weird date rollover issues
// when attempting to parse the following date string on, for example, March 31st 2009.
Ext.Date.parse('2009-02', 'Y-m'); // returns a Date object representing February 1st 2009.

firstDayOfWeek : Number

The day on which the week starts. 0 being Sunday, through 6 being Saturday.

This may be overridden in a locale file.

Defaults to:

0

formatCodes : Object

The base format-code to formatting-function hashmap used by the format method. Formatting functions are strings (or functions which return strings) which will return the appropriate value when evaluated in the context of the Date object from which the format method is called. Add to / override these mappings for custom date formatting.

Note: Ext.Date.format() treats characters as literals if an appropriate mapping cannot be found.

Example:

Ext.Date.formatCodes.x = "Ext.util.Format.leftPad(this.getDate(), 2, '0')";
console.log(Ext.Date.format(new Date(), 'X'); // returns the current day of the month

formatFunctions : Object

An object hash in which each property is a date formatting function. The property name is the format string which corresponds to the produced formatted date string.

This object is automatically populated with date formatting functions as date formats are requested for Ext standard formatting strings.

Custom formatting functions may be inserted into this object, keyed by a name which from then on may be used as a format string to format.

Example:

Ext.Date.formatFunctions['x-date-format'] = myDateFormatter;

A formatting function should return a string representation of the Date object which is the scope (this) of the function.

To enable date strings to also be parsed according to that format, a corresponding parsing function must be placed into the parseFunctions property.

HOUR : String

Date interval constant.

Defaults to:

"h"

MILLI : String

Date interval constant.

Defaults to:

"ms"

MINUTE : String

Date interval constant.

Defaults to:

"mi"

MONTH : String

Date interval constant.

Defaults to:

"mo"

monthNames : String[]

An array of textual month names. Override these values for international dates.

Example:

Ext.Date.monthNames = [
    'JanInYourLang',
    'FebInYourLang'
    // ...
];

monthNumbers : Object

An object hash of zero-based JavaScript month numbers (with short month names as keys).

Note: keys are case-sensitive.

Override these values for international dates.

Example:

Ext.Date.monthNumbers = {
    'LongJanNameInYourLang': 0,
    'ShortJanNameInYourLang':0,
    'LongFebNameInYourLang':1,
    'ShortFebNameInYourLang':1
    // ...
};

MONTHS_IN_YEAR : Number

The number of months in a year.

Defaults to:

12

MONTHS_IN_YEAR : Number

The maximum number of days in a month.

Defaults to:

31

SECOND : String

Date interval constant.

Defaults to:

"s"

useStrict : Boolean

Global flag which determines if strict date parsing should be used. Strict date parsing will not roll-over invalid dates, which is the default behavior of JavaScript Date objects. (see parse for more information)

Defaults to:

false

weekendDays : Number[]

The days on which weekend falls. 0 being Sunday, through 6 being Saturday.

This may be overridden in a locale file.

Defaults to:

[0,6]

YEAR : String

Date interval constant.

Defaults to:

"y"

add ( date, interval, value, [preventDstAdjust] ) : Date

Provides a convenient method for performing basic date arithmetic. This method does not modify the Date instance being called - it creates and returns a new Date instance containing the resulting date value.

Examples:

// Basic usage:
var dt = Ext.Date.add(new Date('10/29/2006'), Ext.Date.DAY, 5);
console.log(dt); // returns 'Fri Nov 03 2006 00:00:00'

// Negative values will be subtracted:
var dt2 = Ext.Date.add(new Date('10/1/2006'), Ext.Date.DAY, -5);
console.log(dt2); // returns 'Tue Sep 26 2006 00:00:00'

 // Decimal values can be used:
var dt3 = Ext.Date.add(new Date('10/1/2006'), Ext.Date.DAY, 1.25);
console.log(dt3); // returns 'Mon Oct 02 2006 06:00:00'

Parameters

Returns

align ( date, unit, step ) : Date

Align the date to unit.

Parameters

Returns

between ( date, start, end ) : Boolean

Checks if a date falls on or between the given start and end dates.

Parameters

Returns

clearTime ( date, [clone] ) : Date

Attempts to clear all time information from this Date by setting the time to midnight of the same day, automatically adjusting for Daylight Saving Time (DST) where applicable.

Note: DST timezone information for the browser's host operating system is assumed to be up-to-date.

Parameters

Returns

clone ( date ) : Date

Creates and returns a new Date instance with the exact same date value as the called instance. Dates are copied and passed by reference, so if a copied date variable is modified later, the original variable will also be changed. When the intention is to create a new variable that will not modify the original instance, you should create a clone.

Example of correctly cloning a date:

//wrong way:
var orig = new Date('10/1/2006');
var copy = orig;
copy.setDate(5);
console.log(orig);  // returns 'Thu Oct 05 2006'!

//correct way:
var orig = new Date('10/1/2006'),
    copy = Ext.Date.clone(orig);
copy.setDate(5);
console.log(orig);  // returns 'Thu Oct 01 2006'

Parameters

Returns

diff ( min, max, unit ) : Number

Calculate how many units are there between two time.

Parameters

Returns

format ( date, format ) : String

Formats a date given the supplied format string.

Parameters

Returns

formatContainsDateInfo ( format ) : Boolean

Checks if the specified format contains information about anything other than the time.

Parameters

Returns

formatContainsHourInfo ( format ) : Boolean

Parameters

Returns

getDayOfYear ( date ) : Number

Get the numeric day number of the year, adjusted for leap year.

Parameters

Returns

getElapsed ( dateA, [dateB] ) : Number

Returns the number of milliseconds between two dates.

Parameters

Returns

var dt = new Date('1/10/2007'), firstDay = Ext.Date.getFirstDayOfMonth(dt);

console.log(Ext.Date.dayNames[firstDay]); // output: 'Monday'

Parameters

Returns

getFirstDayOfMonth ( date ) : Date

Get the date of the first day of the month in which this date resides.

Parameters

Returns

getGMTOffset ( date, [colon] ) : String

Get the offset from GMT of the current date (equivalent to the format specifier 'O').

var dt = new Date('9/17/2011');
console.log(Ext.Date.getGMTOffset(dt));

Parameters

Returns

getLastDayOfMonth ( date ) : Number

Get the last day of the current month, adjusted for leap year. The returned value is the numeric day index within the week (0-6) which can be used in conjunction with the monthNames array to retrieve the textual day name.

var dt = new Date('1/10/2007'), lastDay = Ext.Date.getLastDayOfMonth(dt);

console.log(Ext.Date.dayNames[lastDay]); // output: 'Wednesday'

Parameters

Returns

getLastDayOfMonth ( date ) : Date

Get the date of the last day of the month in which this date resides.

Parameters

Returns

getMonthNumber ( name ) : Number

Get the zero-based JavaScript month number for the given short/full month name. Override this function for international dates.

Parameters

Returns

getShortDayName ( day ) : String

Get the short day name for the given day number. Override this function for international dates.

Parameters

Returns

getShortMonthName ( month ) : String

Get the short month name for the given month number. Override this function for international dates.

Parameters

Returns

getSuffix ( date ) : String

Get the English ordinal suffix of the current day (equivalent to the format specifier 'S').

Parameters

Returns

getTimezone ( date ) : String

Get the timezone abbreviation of the current date (equivalent to the format specifier 'T').

Note: The date string returned by the JavaScript Date object's toString() method varies between browsers (e.g. FF vs IE) and system region settings (e.g. IE in Asia vs IE in America). For a given date string e.g. "Thu Oct 25 2007 22:55:35 GMT+0800 (Malay Peninsula Standard Time)", getTimezone() first tries to get the timezone abbreviation from between a pair of parentheses (which may or may not be present), failing which it proceeds to get the timezone abbreviation from the GMT offset portion of the date string.

var dt = new Date('9/17/2011');
console.log(Ext.Date.getTimezone(dt));

Parameters

Returns

getWeekOfYear ( date ) : Number

Get the numeric ISO-8601 week number of the year. (equivalent to the format specifier 'W', but without a leading zero).

var dt = new Date('9/17/2011');
console.log(Ext.Date.getWeekOfYear(dt)); // 37

Parameters

Returns

isDST ( date ) : Boolean

Checks if the current date is affected by Daylight Saving Time (DST).

Parameters

Returns

isEqual ( date1, date2 ) : Boolean

Compares if two dates are equal by comparing their values.

Parameters

Returns

isLeapYear ( date ) : Boolean

Checks if the current date falls within a leap year.

var dt = new Date('1/10/2011');
console.log(Ext.Date.isLeapYear(dt)); // false

Parameters

Returns

isValid ( year, month, day, [hour], [minute], [second], [millisecond] ) : Boolean

Checks if the passed Date parameters will cause a JavaScript Date "rollover".

Parameters

Returns

isWeekend ( date ) : Boolean

Checks if the date is a weekend day. Uses weekendDays.

Available since: 6.2.0

Parameters

Returns

localeToUtc ( d ) : Date

Converts the passed local date into a UTC date. For example, if the passed date is: Wed Jun 01 2016 00:00:00 GMT+1000 (AUS Eastern Standard Time), then the returned date will be Wed Jun 01 2016 10:00:00 GMT+1000 (AUS Eastern Standard Time).

Available since: 6.2.0

Parameters

Returns

parse ( input, format, [strict] ) : Date/null

Parses the passed string using the specified date format. Note that this function expects normal calendar dates, meaning that months are 1-based (i.e. 1 = January). The defaults hash will be used for any date value (i.e. year, month, day, hour, minute, second or millisecond) which cannot be found in the passed string. If a corresponding default date value has not been specified in the defaults hash, the current date's year, month, day or DST-adjusted zero-hour time value will be used instead. Keep in mind that the input date string must precisely match the specified format string in order for the parse operation to be successful (failed parse operations return a null value).

Example:

//dt = Fri May 25 2007 (current date)
var dt = new Date();

//dt = Thu May 25 2006 (today's month/day in 2006)
dt = Ext.Date.parse("2006", "Y");

//dt = Sun Jan 15 2006 (all date parts specified)
dt = Ext.Date.parse("2006-01-15", "Y-m-d");

//dt = Sun Jan 15 2006 15:20:01
dt = Ext.Date.parse("2006-01-15 3:20:01 PM", "Y-m-d g:i:s A");

// attempt to parse Sun Feb 29 2006 03:20:01 in strict mode
dt = Ext.Date.parse("2006-02-29 03:20:01", "Y-m-d H:i:s", true); // returns null

Parameters

Returns

parseFunctions : Object

An object hash in which each property is a date parsing function. The property name is the format string which that function parses.

This object is automatically populated with date parsing functions as date formats are requested for Ext standard formatting strings.

Custom parsing functions may be inserted into this object, keyed by a name which from then on may be used as a format string to parse.

Example:

Ext.Date.parseFunctions['x-date-format'] = myDateParser;

A parsing function should return a Date object, and is passed the following parameters:

• date: String - The date string to parse.
• strict: Boolean - true to validate date strings while parsing (i.e. prevent JavaScript Date "rollover"). The default must be false. Invalid date strings should return null when parsed.

To enable Dates to also be formatted according to that format, a corresponding formatting function must be placed into the formatFunctions property.

Properties

parseFunctions :

subtract ( date, interval, value, [preventDstAdjust] ) : Date

Provides a convenient method for performing basic date arithmetic. This method does not modify the Date instance being called - it creates and returns a new Date instance containing the resulting date value.

Examples:

// Basic usage:
var dt = Ext.Date.subtract(new Date('10/29/2006'), Ext.Date.DAY, 5);
console.log(dt); // returns 'Tue Oct 24 2006 00:00:00'

// Negative values will be added:
var dt2 = Ext.Date.subtract(new Date('10/1/2006'), Ext.Date.DAY, -5);
console.log(dt2); // returns 'Fri Oct 6 2006 00:00:00'

 // Decimal values can be used:
var dt3 = Ext.Date.subtract(new Date('10/1/2006'), Ext.Date.DAY, 1.25);
console.log(dt3); // returns 'Fri Sep 29 2006 06:00:00'

Parameters

Returns

unescapeFormat ( format ) : String

Removes all escaping for a date format string. In date formats, using a '\' can be used to escape special characters.

Parameters

Returns

utc ( year, month, day, [hour], [min], [s], [ms] ) : Date

Create a UTC date.

Available since: 6.2.0

Parameters

Returns

utcToLocal ( d ) : Date

Converts the passed UTC date into a local date. For example, if the passed date is: Wed Jun 01 2016 00:10:00 GMT+1000 (AUS Eastern Standard Time), then the returned date will be Wed Jun 01 2016 00:00:00 GMT+1000 (AUS Eastern Standard Time).

Available since: 6.2.0
