(Node.js) How to Parse a TimeStamp (such as 2016-11-11T14:32:17.0908971Z)

Timestamps are frequently used in REST API responses. This example demonstrates how to parse a timestamp string to get at the date/time components in the local timezone or in the GMT/UTC timezone.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS

var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-win64'); 
} else if (os.platform() == 'linux') {
    if (os.arch() == 'arm') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm');
    } else if (os.arch() == 'arm64') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm64');
    } else {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-x64');
    }
} else if (os.platform() == 'darwin') {
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-mac-universal');
}

function chilkatExample() {

    // Let's say we have a timestamp string such as 2016-11-11T14:32:17.0908971Z
    var strTimestamp = "2016-11-11T14:32:17.0908971Z";

    var dateTime = new chilkat.CkDateTime();
    dateTime.SetFromTimestamp(strTimestamp);

    // Get a DtObj in the local timezone.
    var bLocalTimezone = true;
    // dt: DtObj
    var dt = dateTime.GetDtObj(bLocalTimezone);

    // Get the individual date/time components
    console.log("-- Local Time --");
    console.log("Year: " + dt.Year);
    console.log("Month: " + dt.Month);
    console.log("Day: " + dt.Day);
    console.log("Hour: " + dt.Hour);
    console.log("Minutes: " + dt.Minute);
    console.log("Seconds: " + dt.Second);

    // Get a DtObj in the GMT/UTC timezone.
    bLocalTimezone = false;
    dt = dateTime.GetDtObj(bLocalTimezone);

    // Get the individual date/time components
    console.log("-- UTC Time --");
    console.log("Year: " + dt.Year);
    console.log("Month: " + dt.Month);
    console.log("Day: " + dt.Day);
    console.log("Hour: " + dt.Hour);
