change date format Y-m-d H:i:s from json feed with jquery

I have received a problem with converting the date format from Y-m-d H:i:s to dd-MM-YYYY by using JQUERY.

My json looks like:

{  "status": "ok",  "posts": [    {       "id": "21",      "title": "Title",      "date": "2013-06-26 06:46:29"    }  ]}

And ajax request:

       $.ajax({         url: ,        async: false,        callback: 'callback',        crossDomain: true,        contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',        dataType: 'jsonp',        timeout: 2000,        success: function (data, status) {           if (data !== undefined && data.posts !== undefined) {            $('#news').append('<a class="item" href="single.html?type=news&id=' + item.id + '">' + item.title  + item.date + '</a>');           }            } });

Can anyone kindly assist me by using jsfiddle? I am new to jquery….

Utilize the split function in pure JavaScript, & toss the varaibles around.

var date = "2013-06-26 06:46:29";var dateSplit = date.split(" ");var dateSplit2 = dateSplit[0].split("-");var formattedDate = dateSplit2.reverse().join('-');   // 26-06-2013

This might seems a yet ugly, & it is. But it suits, as long as you don’t actually need to format the date in other ways (like timezone & such). Then you’d have to look into the Date() object.

EDIT: I want to encourage people to use as much pure JavaScript as possible, due to it’s speed. Often jQuery libraries & functions is filled with overhead, which causes your site to not only load slow, yet moreover process slow. There are no short-cuts to the perfect code, you’ll have to spend some time with it, & learn some tips & tricks. Good luck 🙂
