How to use Luxon to convert datetime to date

You can convert datetime to date using Luxon .toFormat(‘dd/MMM/yyyy’) function. to use luxon for formatting purposes you will need to import this library into your HTML page.

After importing the Luxon library you can use functionalities that are provided by Luxon.

How to import Luxon

To import Luxon using CDN, first, go to this website and copy cdn code, and paste it to your HTML page. I have made it simple for you. Just copy the below-provided code and paste it to the head section of the HTML page to load it faster.

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/luxon/3.3.0/luxon.min.js"></script>

OR

Convert datetime to date using Luxon.

You must use the .toFormat(‘dd/MMM/yyyy’) function to convert datetime to date using Luxon. I’ve demonstrated how to apply this .toFormat(‘dd/MMM/yyyy’) function example and convert datetime to date in the example below.

Convert datetime to date using Luxon

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>

<h1>How to convert datetime to date using Luxon?</h1>
<h2>Converted date will be shown in alert box. <span style="color: red;">(dd/MMM/yyyy)</span></h2>


<script>
	const DateTime = luxon.DateTime;
	
	alert(DateTime.now().toFormat('dd/MMM/yyyy'));
	
</script>

</body>
</html>

The alert message in the example above will only provide the date and not the time.

Let’s examine the case from above now. To ensure that every Luxon function works on our HTML website, I imported the CDN of the Luxon library in the head section.

After that, I created a DateTime variable to use with Luxon’s built-in functions.

I’m using the .toFormat(‘dd/MMM/yyyy’) function to convert dates from datetime values. This will alter the date and time value’s formatting.

For the conversion in the example above, I’m using the date format “dd/MMM/yyyy.” If you don’t want this conversion format then you can use your own format.

<h2>Convert string to datetime and show it to <span style="color: red;">dd/MMM/yyyy</span> format.</h2>


<script>

	var StringDatetime = '04/Jan/2023 11:47 am';
	var FinalOutput = DateTime.fromFormat(StringDatetime, 'dd/MMM/yyyy hh:mm a').toFormat('dd/MMM/yyyy hh:mm a');
	alert(FinalOutput);
	
</script>

Datetime can be converted to date using. the luxon function fromFormat(StringDatetime, “dd/MMM/yyyy hh:mm a”). This will translate a string to a date and time.
Let’s talk about the example above. The head section contains code to import the Luxon library into our HTML page, as previously taught.

Using the DateTime variable, Luxon routines are called.

I have the string date value that will be converted to a valid date saved in the StringDatetime variable.

The formatting process will be performed by the ‘.fromFormat(StringDatetime, “dd/MMM/yyyy hh:mm a”) code before the desired date is formatted.
