convert a string to a date in typescript

In order to convert a string to a date in Typescript, you can use the Date object and the Date.parse() function. The Date.parse() function will take a string parameter and convert it to the corresponding date.

Here is a code snippet that demonstrates how to convert a string to a date in Typescript:

index.ts
const dateString: string = "2021-08-17T00:00:00.000Z";
const date: Date = new Date(Date.parse(dateString));
console.log(date);
127 chars
4 lines

In the above example, we have a string representing a date in ISO format. We create a new Date object and pass in the result of Date.parse(dateString), which converts the string to a timestamp. The Date object then automatically constructs a date from the timestamp.

The resulting date object will be an instance of the Date class that can then be manipulated and formatted as desired.
