Get date format of current site which is set in regional settings using JSOM

Question

I need date format of site, I can get date separator using get_regionalSettings() and get_dateSeparator() .

I tried get_dateFormat() but it returns "1".

I need to know date format of particular site "dd/mm/yyyy" , "mm/dd/yyyy" or whatever the default date time format is set in SharePoint site.

How can I get that using JSOM?

Answer 1

The first step is to figure out what time zone it is displaying. There are two types of Regional Settings that specify the time zone:

• Regional Settings in User Profile Settings
• Regional Settings under each site

Answer 2

I was facing same issue in my SPFX webpart. I was trying to show date format based on regional settings of current site.

So at first I take current culture name. Culture name can be like "en-US", "nn-NO" etc. Then I use moment to format the date. Check below example:

const currentCultureName = props.context.pageContext.legacyPageContext.currentCultureName;
moment.locale(currentCultureName);
const dateString = moment(new Date()).format('L');

Add a reference to moment js. This can be downloaded from https://momentjs.com/downloads/moment.js .

And add below code in your client context code.

 var dt = oListItem.get_item('datelistcolumnname');if (dt != null) { alert(moment(dt).format('L')); }
