Extracting date from datetime in javascript

Question

I have a value from my database. How do I extract the date from this datetime value using javascript?

1990-06-03 00:00:00

Answer 1

Just split up the parts and use the built-in Date constructor

var t = "1990-06-03 00:00:00".split(/[- :]/);
var date = new Date(t[0], t[1]-1, t[2], t[3], t[4], t[5]);
