I get this value from my backend service: 171054. It represents hh:mm:ss. But when I use the formatting options from the docs it gives me back 00:00:00.
Things I've tried:
moment('171054').format('hh-mm-ss')
moment('171054').format('HH-mm-ss')
moment('171054').format('HH-MM-SS')
You are confusing format option with parsing option. Since your input string is not in ISO 8601 format, you have to specify format when parsing.
Here a working example for your use case:
var mom = moment('171054', 'HHmmss');
console.log(mom.format());
console.log(mom.format('HH:mm:ss'));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.15.1/moment.min.js"></script>
I am not sure if momentjs can read that as date since there is no identifier. I would suggest changing the value for example you have 171054, get each 2 digits since you sure that this is represent as hh:mm:ss then add identifier between then like ":" or "-" then try us momentjs formatting again.

I am just printing the ISO datetime with timezone as per the below documentation
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/lrdict/64316/HTML/default/viewer.htm#a003169814.htm
This is my code
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC");
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd'T'hh:mm:ss.nnnnnn+|-hh:mm");
df.setTimeZone(tz);
dateTimeWithTimeZone = df.format(new Date());
However i am getting this exception
Illegal pattern character 'n'
I cant use this format directly in Java ?
java.time
dateTimeWithTimeZone = Instant.now().toString();
System.out.println(dateTimeWithTimeZone);
When I ran this snippet just now, I got this output:
2019-03-18T22:28:13.549319Z
It’s not clear from the page you link to, but it’s an ISO 8601 string in UTC, so should be all that you need. I am taking advantage of the fact that the classes of java.time produce ISO 8601 output from their toString methods. The linked page does show the format with hyphens, T and colons (2008-09-15T15:53:00+05:00), it shows another example with decimals on the seconds (15:53:00.322348) and a third one with Z meaning UTC (20080915T155300Z), so I would expect that the combination of all three of these would be OK too.
The format you used in the quesiton seems to try to get the offset as +00:00 rather than Z. If this is a requirement, it’s only a little bit more complicated. We are using an explicit formatter to control the variations within ISO 8601:
DateTimeFormatter iso8601Formatter
= DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSxxx");
dateTimeWithTimeZone = OffsetDateTime.now(ZoneOffset.UTC).format(iso8601Formatter);
System.out.println(dateTimeWithTimeZone);

What went wrong in your code?
You tried to use the formatting symbols from your source with SimpleDateFormat. First, you should never, and especially not in Java 8 or later, want to use SimpleDateFormat. That class is notoriously troublesome and long outdated. Second, some of its format pattern letters agree with the symbols from your source, some of them don’t, so you cannot just use the symvol string from there. Instead you need to read the documentation and find the correct format pattern letters to use for year, month, etc. And be aware that they are case sensitive: MM and mm are different.

Oracle Tutorial: Date Time
explaining how to use java.time.
Can't format the below date using moment.js, the below statement returns Invalid Date
moment('20171206T062406927Z').format('D-MMM-YYYY');
Please help me on this.
You need to tell moment which format your date string is in:
moment('20171206T062406927Z', 'YYYYMMDD[T]HHmmssSSSZ', true).format('D-MMM-YYYY');
Edit: updated as per #VincenzoC comment to ensure the timestamp is parsed in UTC
Also fix: use HH for 24-hour format (not hh), and pass a third true parameter to ensure the timestamp is parsed in strict mode.
I am using moment.js in my application and the expected date format is
2017-01-09T17:05:00.000 //Expected Result
Where as if i call
moment().format()
I am getting ISO 8601 format i.e with T and minus sign
(2017-01-14T17:05:00-06:00) // Actual result.
What should i use to get this format of with .000
ISO 8601 is the default representation of moment's format() API. But you can customize it by passing required format pattern.
In your case, moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD[T]HH:mm:ss.SSS') will produce what you're looking

Another option to know, though it works only for UTC time : moment().toISOString()

I've read thru various posts on here in regards to similiar issues but none have solved my problem.
I manipulate the moment.js date object, and then store it as timestamp.
BUT, when I try to read in that timestamp again, I get that deprecated warning.
""Deprecation warning: moment construction falls back to js Date. This is discouraged and will be removed in upcoming major release. Please refer to https://github.com/moment/moment/issues/1407 for more info."
I've tried toDate(), format(), moment(myTimeStamp, 'ddd, DD MMM YYYY HH:mm:ss ZZ'); --> all generate the warning...
So, for example, my timestamp will look like this:
const timestamp = '1458586740000'
when I read that back and try to parse out the month/day/year, then the hour/min am/pm, etc... I need to get that timestamp into a moment.js object. Nothing is working for me. Any ideas.
How can I get this timestamp: '1458586740000', into a moment.js object so I can extract date date from it as I need?
EDIT: this is how I am storing the timestamp. So I would need to retrieve it from this.
let timeStamp = Moment(state[_Date])
.add({ hour: state[AMPM] === 'PM'
? +state[Hour] + 12
: state[Hour] ,
minute: state[Min] }).format('x')
The X token indicates a unix timestamp in seconds, and the x token indicates a unix millisecond timestamp (offset).
You appear to have a millisecond timestamp, so you would make a moment out of it by doing the following:
var a = moment('1458586740000', 'x')
It works without ' as well:
var a = moment(1458586740000, 'x')
You can also not specify the x and it should work:
moment(1458586740000)
Because you have a unix offset (milliseconds), not a unix timestamp (seconds), moment.unix is not what you want.
Then you can do the following:
a.format()
"2016-03-21T13:59:00-05:00"
Or you can use any of the other formatting tokens listed here to output whatever result you would like: http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/
Based on the code you presented, I think you may be having problems because your timestamp is stored as a string (in ''). Parsing as a string causes an invalid date error, because it attempts to match ISO 8601 format and fails. Specifying that 'x' token will cause it to assume unix offset and work correctly.
My problem: I need to get date format as "mm/dd/yyyy"
Scenario:
I have declared DateBirth as nullable DateTime.
The value I get when I use:
AdvancedObj.DateBirth .Value.ToString()
is: "13/03/2013 00:00:00"
The value I get when I use
AdvancedObj.DateBirth .Value.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
is :"03/13/2013 00:00:00"//This is roughly correct but, I do not need 00:00:00
I have tried this as well, but the format is correct and value is incorrect.
AdvancedObj.DateBirth.Value.ToString("dd/mm/yyyy",CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-Us"))
**"13/00/2013"**
Can anybody point me, what am I missing?
Use the right format string for months - it is MM. mm is for minutes:
AdvancedObj.DateBirth.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy",CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
Also, order them correctly as above - if you want months before days, use MM/dd/yyyy, if the other way around, dd/MM/yyyy.
I suggest you take a good long read of Custom Date and Time Format Strings on MSDN.
Month are 'M'. 'm' is for minutes.
"dd/MM/yyyy"
