JavaScript new Date Ordinal (st, nd, rd, th)












28














If at all possible, without JavaScript libraries or lots of clunky code I am looking for the simplest way to format a date two weeks from now in the following format:



13th March 2013



The code I am using is:



var newdate = new Date(+new Date + 12096e5);
document.body.innerHTML = newdate;


which returns the date and time two weeks from now, but like this:
Wed Mar 27 2013 21:50:29 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time)



Here is the code in jsFiddle.



Any help would be appreciated!

Here is a one liner inspired by the other answers. It is tested and will take 0 and negative numbers.



function getOrdinalNum(n) {
return n + (n > 0 ? ['th', 'st', 'nd', 'rd'][(n > 3 && n < 21) || n % 10 > 3 ? 0 : n % 10] : '');
}

Lots of formatting answers, so I'll just work on the nth of any integer-



Number.prototype.nth= function(){
if(this%1) return this;
var s= this%100;
if(s>3 && s<21) return this+'th';
switch(s%10){
case 1: return this+'st';
case 2: return this+'nd';
case 3: return this+'rd';
default: return this+'th';
}
}

I was doing this for dates as well, but because the day of month can only be between 1 and 31, I ended up with a simplified solution.



function dateOrdinal(dom) {
if (dom == 31 || dom == 21 || dom == 1) return dom + "st";
else if (dom == 22 || dom == 2) return dom + "nd";
else if (dom == 23 || dom == 3) return dom + "rd";
else return dom + "th";
};


or compact version using conditional operators



function dateOrdinal(d) {
return d+(31==d||21==d||1==d?"st":22==d||2==d?"nd":23==d||3==d?"rd":"th")
};

    Lots of answers, here's another:

    var ords = [,'st','nd','rd'];
    var ord, m = n%100;
    return n + ((m > 10 && m < 14)? 'th' : ords[m%10] || 'th');
    }

    // Return date string two weeks from now (14 days) in
    // format 13th March 2013
    function formatDatePlusTwoWeeks(d) {
    var months = ['January','February','March','April','May','June',
    'July','August','September','October','November','December'];

    // Copy date object so don't modify original
    var e = new Date(d);

    // Add two weeks (14 days)
    e.setDate(e.getDate() + 14);
    return addOrd(e.getDate()) + ' ' + months[e.getMonth()] + ' ' + e.getFullYear();

      I'm a bit late to the party, but this should work:



      function ordinal(number) {
      number = Number(number)
      if(!number || (Math.round(number) !== number)) {
      return number
      }
      var signal = (number < 20) ? number : Number(('' + number).slice(-1))
      switch(signal) {
      case 1:
      return number + 'st'
      case 2:
      return number + 'nd'
      case 3:
      return number + 'rd'
      default:
      return number + 'th'
      }
      }

      function specialFormat(date) {
      // add two weeks
      date = new Date(+date + 12096e5)
      var months = [
      'January'
      , 'February'
      , 'March'
      , 'April'
      , 'May'
      , 'June'
      , 'July'
      , 'August'
      , 'September'
      , 'October'
      , 'November'
      , 'December'
      ]
      var formatted = ordinal(date.getDate())
      formatted += ' ' + months[date.getMonth()]
      return formatted + ' ' + date.getFullYear()
      }

      document.body.innerHTML = specialFormat(new Date())

        As many has mentioned, here is another answer.



        This is directly based on @kennebec's answer, which I found the most simplest way to get this date Ordinal generated for given JavaScript date:



        I created two prototype function as follows:



        Date.prototype.getDateWithDateOrdinal = function() {
        var d = this.getDate(); // from here on I've used Kennebec's answer, but improved it.
        if(d>3 && d<21) return d+'th';
        switch (d % 10) {
        case 1: return d+"st";
        case 2: return d+"nd";
        case 3: return d+"rd";
        default: return d+"th";
        }
        };

        Date.prototype.getMonthName = function(shorten) {
        var monthsNames = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
        var monthIndex = this.getMonth();
        var tempIndex = -1;
        if (monthIndex == 0){ tempIndex = 0 };
        if (monthIndex == 1){ tempIndex = 1 };
        if (monthIndex == 2){ tempIndex = 2 };
        if (monthIndex == 3){ tempIndex = 3 };
        if (monthIndex == 4){ tempIndex = 4 };
        if (monthIndex == 5){ tempIndex = 5 };
        if (monthIndex == 6){ tempIndex = 6 };
        if (monthIndex == 7){ tempIndex = 7 };
        if (monthIndex == 8){ tempIndex = 8 };
        if (monthIndex == 9){ tempIndex = 9 };
        if (monthIndex == 10){ tempIndex = 10 };
        if (monthIndex == 11){ tempIndex = 11 };

        if (tempIndex > -1) {
        this.monthName = (shorten) ? monthsNames[tempIndex].substring(0, 3) : monthsNames[tempIndex];
        } else {
        this.monthName = "";
        }

        return this.monthName;
        };


        Note: just include the above prototype functions within your JS Script and use it as described bellow.



        And whenever there is a JS date I need to generate the date with date ordinal I use that prototype method as follows on that JS date:



        var myDate = new Date();
        // You may have to check your JS Console in the web browser to see the following
        console.log("date with date ordinal: "+myDate.getDateWithDateOrdinal()+" "+myDate.getMonthName()+" "+myDate.getFullYear());

        // or I will update the Div. using jQuery
        $('#date').html("date with date ordinal: "+myDate.getDateWithDateOrdinal()+" "+myDate.getMonthName()+" "+myDate.getFullYear());


        And it will print out date with date ordinal as shown in the following live demo:






        	Date.prototype.getMonthName = function(shorten) {
        var monthsNames = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
        var monthIndex = this.getMonth();
        var tempIndex = -1;
        if (monthIndex == 0){ tempIndex = 0 };
        if (monthIndex == 1){ tempIndex = 1 };
        if (monthIndex == 2){ tempIndex = 2 };
        if (monthIndex == 3){ tempIndex = 3 };
        if (monthIndex == 4){ tempIndex = 4 };
        if (monthIndex == 5){ tempIndex = 5 };
        if (monthIndex == 6){ tempIndex = 6 };
        if (monthIndex == 7){ tempIndex = 7 };
        if (monthIndex == 8){ tempIndex = 8 };
        if (monthIndex == 9){ tempIndex = 9 };
        if (monthIndex == 10){ tempIndex = 10 };
        if (monthIndex == 11){ tempIndex = 11 };

        if (tempIndex > -1) {
        this.monthName = (shorten) ? monthsNames[tempIndex].substring(0, 3) : monthsNames[tempIndex];
        } else {
        this.monthName = "";
        }

        return this.monthName;
        };

        Date.prototype.getDateWithDateOrdinal = function() {
        var d = this.getDate(); // from here on I've used Kennebec's answer, but improved it.
        if(d>3 && d<21) return d+'th';
        switch (d % 10) {
        case 1: return d+"st";
        case 2: return d+"nd";
        case 3: return d+"rd";
        default: return d+"th";
        }
        };

        var myDate = new Date();
        // You may have to check your JS Console in the web browser to see the following
        console.log("date with date ordinal: "+myDate.getDateWithDateOrdinal()+" "+myDate.getMonthName()+" "+myDate.getFullYear());

          A short and compact solution:






          function format(date, tmp){
          return [
          (tmp = date.getDate()) +
          ([, 'st', 'nd', 'rd'][/1?.$/.exec(tmp)] || 'th'),
          [ 'January', 'February', 'March', 'April',
          'May', 'June', 'July', 'August',
          'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'
          ][date.getMonth()],
          date.getFullYear()
          ].join(' ')
          }


          // 14 days from today

          console.log('14 days from today: ' +
          format(new Date(+new Date + 14 * 864e5)));

          // test formatting for all dates within a month from today

          var day = 864e5, today = +new Date;
          for(var i = 0; i < 32; i++) {
          console.log('Today + ' + i + ': ' + format(new Date(today + i * day)))
          }





          (The compact regex-based approach for getting the ordinal suffix appears several places around the web, original source unknown)

              const nth = { '1': 'st', '2': 'nd', '3': 'rd' }
              return `${d}${nth[d] || 'th'}`

              Here is a one liner inspired by the other answers. It is tested and will take 0 and negative numbers.



              function getOrdinalNum(n) {
              return n + (n > 0 ? ['th', 'st', 'nd', 'rd'][(n > 3 && n < 21) || n % 10 > 3 ? 0 : n % 10] : '');

              I was doing this for dates as well, but because the day of month can only be between 1 and 31, I ended up with a simplified solution.



              function dateOrdinal(dom) {
              if (dom == 31 || dom == 21 || dom == 1) return dom + "st";
              else if (dom == 22 || dom == 2) return dom + "nd";
              else if (dom == 23 || dom == 3) return dom + "rd";
              else return dom + "th";
              };


              or compact version using conditional operators



              function dateOrdinal(d) {
              return d+(31==d||21==d||1==d?"st":22==d||2==d?"nd":23==d||3==d?"rd":"th")

                                      As many has mentioned, here is another answer.



                                      This is directly based on @kennebec's answer, which I found the most simplest way to get this date Ordinal generated for given JavaScript date:



                                      I created two prototype function as follows:



                                      Date.prototype.getDateWithDateOrdinal = function() {
                                      var d = this.getDate(); // from here on I've used Kennebec's answer, but improved it.
                                      if(d>3 && d<21) return d+'th';
                                      switch (d % 10) {
                                      case 1: return d+"st";
                                      case 2: return d+"nd";
                                      case 3: return d+"rd";
                                      default: return d+"th";
                                      }
                                      };

                                      Date.prototype.getMonthName = function(shorten) {
                                      var monthsNames = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
                                      var monthIndex = this.getMonth();
                                      var tempIndex = -1;
                                      if (monthIndex == 0){ tempIndex = 0 };
                                      if (monthIndex == 1){ tempIndex = 1 };
                                      if (monthIndex == 2){ tempIndex = 2 };
                                      if (monthIndex == 3){ tempIndex = 3 };
                                      if (monthIndex == 4){ tempIndex = 4 };
                                      if (monthIndex == 5){ tempIndex = 5 };
                                      if (monthIndex == 6){ tempIndex = 6 };
                                      if (monthIndex == 7){ tempIndex = 7 };
                                      if (monthIndex == 8){ tempIndex = 8 };
                                      if (monthIndex == 9){ tempIndex = 9 };
                                      if (monthIndex == 10){ tempIndex = 10 };
                                      if (monthIndex == 11){ tempIndex = 11 };

                                      if (tempIndex > -1) {
                                      this.monthName = (shorten) ? monthsNames[tempIndex].substring(0, 3) : monthsNames[tempIndex];
                                      } else {
                                      this.monthName = "";
                                      }

                                      return this.monthName;
                                      };


                                      Note: just include the above prototype functions within your JS Script and use it as described bellow.



                                      And whenever there is a JS date I need to generate the date with date ordinal I use that prototype method as follows on that JS date:



                                      var myDate = new Date();
                                      // You may have to check your JS Console in the web browser to see the following
                                      console.log("date with date ordinal: "+myDate.getDateWithDateOrdinal()+" "+myDate.getMonthName()+" "+myDate.getFullYear());

                                      // or I will update the Div. using jQuery
                                      $('#date').html("date with date ordinal: "+myDate.getDateWithDateOrdinal()+" "+myDate.getMonthName()+" "+myDate.getFullYear());


                                      And it will print out date with date ordinal as shown in the following live demo:

                                        As many has mentioned, here is another answer.



                                        This is directly based on @kennebec's answer, which I found the most simplest way to get this date Ordinal generated for given JavaScript date:



                                        I created two prototype function as follows:



                                        Date.prototype.getDateWithDateOrdinal = function() {
                                        var d = this.getDate(); // from here on I've used Kennebec's answer, but improved it.
                                        if(d>3 && d<21) return d+'th';
                                        switch (d % 10) {
                                        case 1: return d+"st";
                                        case 2: return d+"nd";
                                        case 3: return d+"rd";
                                        default: return d+"th";
                                        }
                                        };

                                        Date.prototype.getMonthName = function(shorten) {
                                        var monthsNames = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
                                        var monthIndex = this.getMonth();
                                        var tempIndex = -1;
                                        if (monthIndex == 0){ tempIndex = 0 };
                                        if (monthIndex == 1){ tempIndex = 1 };
                                        if (monthIndex == 2){ tempIndex = 2 };
                                        if (monthIndex == 3){ tempIndex = 3 };
                                        if (monthIndex == 4){ tempIndex = 4 };
                                        if (monthIndex == 5){ tempIndex = 5 };
                                        if (monthIndex == 6){ tempIndex = 6 };
                                        if (monthIndex == 7){ tempIndex = 7 };
                                        if (monthIndex == 8){ tempIndex = 8 };
                                        if (monthIndex == 9){ tempIndex = 9 };
                                        if (monthIndex == 10){ tempIndex = 10 };
                                        if (monthIndex == 11){ tempIndex = 11 };

                                        if (tempIndex > -1) {
                                        this.monthName = (shorten) ? monthsNames[tempIndex].substring(0, 3) : monthsNames[tempIndex];
                                        } else {
                                        this.monthName = "";
                                        }

                                        return this.monthName;
                                        };

                                          As many has mentioned, here is another answer.



                                          This is directly based on @kennebec's answer, which I found the most simplest way to get this date Ordinal generated for given JavaScript date:



                                          I created two prototype function as follows:



                                          Date.prototype.getDateWithDateOrdinal = function() {
                                          var d = this.getDate(); // from here on I've used Kennebec's answer, but improved it.
                                          if(d>3 && d<21) return d+'th';
                                          switch (d % 10) {
                                          case 1: return d+"st";
                                          case 2: return d+"nd";
                                          case 3: return d+"rd";
                                          default: return d+"th";
                                          }
                                          };

                                          Date.prototype.getMonthName = function(shorten) {
                                          var monthsNames = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
                                          var monthIndex = this.getMonth();
                                          var tempIndex = -1;
                                          if (monthIndex == 0){ tempIndex = 0 };
                                          if (monthIndex == 1){ tempIndex = 1 };
                                          if (monthIndex == 2){ tempIndex = 2 };
                                          if (monthIndex == 3){ tempIndex = 3 };
                                          if (monthIndex == 4){ tempIndex = 4 };
                                          if (monthIndex == 5){ tempIndex = 5 };
                                          if (monthIndex == 6){ tempIndex = 6 };
                                          if (monthIndex == 7){ tempIndex = 7 };
                                          if (monthIndex == 8){ tempIndex = 8 };
                                          if (monthIndex == 9){ tempIndex = 9 };
                                          if (monthIndex == 10){ tempIndex = 10 };
                                          if (monthIndex == 11){ tempIndex = 11 };

                                          if (tempIndex > -1) {
                                          this.monthName = (shorten) ? monthsNames[tempIndex].substring(0, 3) : monthsNames[tempIndex];
                                          } else {
                                          this.monthName = "";
                                          }

                                          return this.monthName;
                                          };


                                          Note: just include the above prototype functions within your JS Script and use it as described bellow.



                                          And whenever there is a JS date I need to generate the date with date ordinal I use that prototype method as follows on that JS date:



                                          var myDate = new Date();
                                          // You may have to check your JS Console in the web browser to see the following
                                          console.log("date with date ordinal: "+myDate.getDateWithDateOrdinal()+" "+myDate.getMonthName()+" "+myDate.getFullYear());

                                          // or I will update the Div. using jQuery
                                          $('#date').html("date with date ordinal: "+myDate.getDateWithDateOrdinal()+" "+myDate.getMonthName()+" "+myDate.getFullYear());


                                          And it will print out date with date ordinal as shown in the following live demo:
