javascript - Having trouble converting /Date(####)/ to MM/dd/yyyy local with MomentJS -

using external api that's sending me dates such as:

/date(1439596800)/

the above date is:

august 30, 2015

using momentjs this:

moment("/date(1439596800)/").format("mm/dd/yyyy");

gets me this:

01/17/1970

i'm aware i'm supposed multiply * 1000 hoping there specific momentjs method.

thank help.

it's rather simple.

your api gives unix timestamp - default, moment(arg) assumes arg passed milliseconds since 1st january 1970.

for converting it, must first remove /date( , )\. i'd use regex strips non-digit characters:

mystring = mystring.replace(/\d/g,'');

this leave numbers. now, can run

moment.unix(mystring).format("mm/dd/yyyy");
