let now = new Date();
alert( now ); // shows current date/time
new Date(milliseconds)
// 0 means 01.01.1970 UTC+0
let Jan01_1970 = new Date(0);
alert( Jan01_1970 );
// now add 24 hours, get 02.01.1970 UTC+0

new Date(datestring)
// string 用 Date.parse 轉換成時間
let date = new Date("2017-01-26");

new Date(year, month, date, hours, minutes, seconds, ms)
The year must have 4 digits: 2013 is okay, 98 is not.
The month count starts with 0 (Jan), up to 11 (Dec).
The date parameter is actually the day of month, if absent then 1 is assumed.
If hours/minutes/seconds/ms is absent, they are assumed to be equal 0.
new Date(2011, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0); // // 1 Jan 2011, 00:00:00
new Date(2011, 0, 1); // the same, hours etc are 0 by default
let date = new Date(2011, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 567);
alert( date ); // 1.01.2011, 02:03:04.567
setTime(milliseconds) (sets the whole date by milliseconds since 01.01.1970 UTC)
除了 setTime() 都有 UTC+0 的時間。
let today = new Date();
today.setHours(0);
alert(today); // still today, but the hour is changed to 0
today.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);
alert(today); // still today, now 00:00:00 sharp.
Autocorrection
// date 有自動校對功能
let date = new Date(2013, 0, 32); // 32 Jan 2013 ?!?
alert(date); // ...is 1st Feb 2013!
// 不用思考是是否為閏月
let date = new Date(2016, 1, 28);
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 2);
alert( date ); // 1 Mar 2016
// 取得一段時間後的時間
let date = new Date();
date.setSeconds(date.getSeconds() + 70);
alert( date ); // shows the correct date
// 可以用零或負數
let date = new Date(2016, 0, 2); // 2 Jan 2016
date.setDate(1); // set day 1 of month
alert( date );
date.setDate(0); // min day is 1, so the last day of the previous month is assumed
alert( date ); // 31 Dec 2015
Date to number, date diff
// 時間轉換成數字，相當於用 date.getTime()
let date = new Date();
alert(+date); // the number of milliseconds, same as date.getTime()
// 日期可以相減，結果為 ms
let start = new Date(); // start counting
// do the job
for (let i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
let doSomething = i * i * i;
}
let end = new Date(); // done
alert( `The loop took ${end - start} ms` );
Date.now()
// 計算時間差，等同 new Date().getTime()，但沒有創造 Date 物件
let start = Date.now(); // milliseconds count from 1 Jan 1970
// do the job
for (let i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
let doSomething = i * i * i;
}
let end = Date.now(); // done
alert( `The loop took ${end - start} ms` ); // subtract numbers, not dates
Benchmarking
// we have date1 and date2, which function faster returns their difference in ms?
function diffSubtract(date1, date2) {
return date2 - date1;
}
// or
function diffGetTime(date1, date2) {
return date2.getTime() - date1.getTime();
}
// diffGetTime() 明顯快得多，因為沒有類型轉換，但這並不精確，因為執行 diffSubtract()時，CPU 可能在運行其他東西。
function diffSubtract(date1, date2) {
return date2 - date1;
}
function diffGetTime(date1, date2) {
return date2.getTime() - date1.getTime();

alert( 'Time of diffGetTime: ' + bench(diffGetTime) + 'ms' );

// 多測驗幾次可以增加準確度

// JavaScript 對執行很多次的程式碼有優化的效果，因此要將上一個加溫效果
// added for "heating up" prior to the main loop

Date.parse from a string
YYYY-MM-DD – is the date: year-month-day.
The character "T" is used as the delimiter.
HH:mm:ss.sss – is the time: hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds.
The optional 'Z' part denotes the time zone in the format +-hh:mm. A single letter Z that would mean UTC+0.
let ms = Date.parse('2012-01-26T13:51:50.417-07:00');
alert(ms); // 1327611110417 (timestamp)
let date = new Date( Date.parse('2012-01-26T13:51:50.417-07:00') );
alert(date);
