Recently, we were working with Google Charts at which we were presenting data from a timeline with some processing.
Our JavaScript code was formatted as follows to create Date objects:
1 2 | $value = "2020-03-19 23:45:00";var dateStrFormat = new Date($value); |
The above code worked fine on Firefox and Chrome but it failed on Safari with the error:
a.getTime is not a function. (In 'a.getTime()', 'a.getTime' is undefined)
After some investigation we found that Safari does not support a Date() constructor that contains time as well so we had to change the code to the following block:
1 2 3 4 5 | var dateStr = "2020-03-19";var dateStrFormat = new Date(dateStr);var hourStr = "23";var minutesStr = "45";dateStrFormat.setHours(hourStr, minutesStr); |
The above works on all browsers!
