Answered using ChatGPT 4o by ChatGPT4o

Question:

using typscript convert a date 'dd/mm/yyyy' to 'yyyy-mm-dd'

Answer:

To convert a date from the format 'dd/mm/yyyy' to 'yyyy-mm-dd' in TypeScript, you can use the following function:

function convertDateFormat(dateString: string): string {
    // Split the input date string by '/'
    const [day, month, year] = dateString.split('/');

    // Return the date in 'yyyy-mm-dd' format
    return `${year}-${month}-${day}`;
}

// Example usage:
const inputDate = '25/12/2023';
const convertedDate = convertDateFormat(inputDate);
console.log(convertedDate); // Output: '2023-12-25'

This function works by:

  1. Splitting the input date string into day, month, and year components using the split method.
  2. Reconstructing the date string in the desired 'yyyy-mm-dd' format.
