date format ios

[Joe Sharples]

The _createdAt field is mapped to a label on a list.

I have the js on the mapping.

pre
var date = new Date(value);
var hour = date.getHours();
date.setHours(hour);
var diff = ((((new Date()).getTime() - date.getTime()) / 1000)-3600); //-3600 is for time difference reasons
var day_diff = Math.floor(diff / 86400);

console.log("dif type "+typeof diff);
console.log("dif "+ diff);

console.log("day diff type "+typeof day_diff);
console.log("day diff "+ day_diff);

if (day_diff < 1){

if (diff < 60){
return "just now";
}

if (diff < 120){
return "1m";
}

if (diff < 3600){
min = Math&#46;floor( diff / 60 );
return min+ "m";

Code: Select all

 } 

if (diff < 7200){
return "1hr";
}

Code: Select all

 if (diff < 86400){ 

hr = Math&#46;floor( diff / 3600 );
return hr + "hr";
}

}

else {
return day_diff + "d";
}
/pre

When I test it on chrome it works as expected.
but when i test it on the appery test app on my iphone it returns 'NaNd' for every item.

Therefore it is not recognising day_diff to be a number.
I added
pre console&#46;log(typeof day_diff);
console&#46;log(typeof diff); /pre
to this code and it showed
'number
number'.

I also tried using parseInt(), but that didnt work either

how do i get it to recognise it as a number on iphone?
please note, it works on chrome correctly, but not the appery test app iphone.

Thank you for all your help so far.

Joe,

Without getting too much into your challenge - i recently developed a date-math library for an app I built where I had to do a lot of date manipulation.

This set of functions - cans a lot of the challenges people have with date manipulation. You can use it on the server or client side. Since it runs on the server side - it's also free from challenges where some things work with some browsers and not others.

Let me know if it helps.

I have the same problem, I think.

I am trying to take a date stored in the database, pass it to the the Date() object and then show the formatted date from the Date object. When I test it on Chrome, it works fine, but when I test it on an actual device, I get NaN.
