Now i sure that it's not a problem of import, the problem is the format of date that i give as parameter to parse() function so the datepicker gives me this format :

2013-06-13T00:00:00.000+01:00 ‍

and so when i pass it to parse() function it returns null. !
So how to format my date to be accepted by parse function Or if there is a good solution to compare two date show me it thanks all.

Hi,
as reported here http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Freferences%2FAPI-JS-Utility-fromISO8601.html the date should be in this format

2011-11-28T17:06:51.477Z‍

to be successfully converted

Thanks for answer i tried this

var origDate = utils.fromISO8601(str_expiryDate); console.log("nouvelle conversion"+origDate);‍

When i debug it, it treat (utils.utils.fromISO8601()) as an unknown expression !!

Resolved it like this, i created a function


    function dateFromISO8601(isostr) {
       var parts = isostr.match(/\d+/g);
       return new Date(parts[0], parts[1] - 1, parts[2], parts[3], parts[4], parts[5]);
    }
‍‍‍‍‍‍

and then i call it to parse my date like this :


    d_expiryDate = dateFromISO8601(str_expiryDate);
          console.log("nfDate"+d_expiryDate);
    
          d_reminderDate = dateFromISO8601(str_reminderDate);
          console.log("Date echéance"+d_reminderDate);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And then the result gives :


    nfDateSat Jun 29 2013 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (Afr. centrale Ouest) formValidation-min.js:51
    Date echéanceWed Jun 05 2013 00:00:00 GMT+0100 (Afr. centrale Ouest) 
‍‍‍‍

Wish that can help others thanks.

Just for the record,

util‍

is part of Alfresco's Javascript API, so it's not available on the client side. On the client you can just include something like date.js and have it handle dates for you, or write a custom method like you did.

FYI… the alfresco.js file (which is included on every page in Share) has a number of date/time helper functions including:

Alfresco.util.isDate
Alfresco.util.formatDate
Alfresco.util.fromISO8601
Alfresco.util.parseTime
Alfresco.util.toISO8601
Alfresco.util.fromExplodedJSONDate
Alfresco.util.toExplodedJSONDate
Alfresco.util.renderRelativeTime
Alfresco.util.relativeTime
Alfresco.util.relativeDate

These ARE available on the client side.
