hi@all I need a string like this: “2018-06-28 08:44:55.000000” So I tried to format the date: var d = new Date(); var options = { timeZone: 'UTC', year: 'numeric', month: '2-digit', day: '2-digit'}; var _resultDate = d.toLocaleDateString('de-CH', options); msg.payload = _resultDate; return msg; b…

Node.js is not built with all of the necessary locale information needed to fully support toLocaleDateString - see https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/8500 Have a look at https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-moment as an alternative node for working with formatted date/times.

thx knolleary the output of the moment-node is perfect wiht this format: YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.ms but is it possible to use the moment node/function inside another node, e.g. function-node?

Hello na-am Maybe is usefull for you, I'm actually using on my flows several format ways, once you have installed the "moment" node you can inject a timestamp once a second and configure the moment node to write the value on the format you wanted to a global variable, so you can acces this value wi…

[image] davidcgu: you can inject a timestamp once a second and configure the moment node to write the value on the format you wanted to a global variable, Technically you could, but that's a lot of wasted processing if you don't need it every single second....

In fact I’m actually doing like this with many more things and had not took the time to change it because the actual CPU load is really low, anyway can be inserted before the function he is writting and will have same effect but without any non-required load. Regards

Hey folks. First off var date; date = new Date(timestamp); date = (date.getFullYear() + '-' + ('00' + (date.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2) + '-' + ('00' + date.getDate()).slice(-2) + ' ' + ('00' + date.getHours()).slice(-2) + ':' + ('00' + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2) + ':' + ('00' + date.getSeconds(…

Hola Davidcgu, como haces para que despues de setear el "Output to = global.date3" lo puedas llamar desde cualquier otro flow? soy nuevo en el Node-RED y he estado tratando despues de leer tu post. Saludos y gracias de antemano

Buenas Disculpa pero no habia visto tu post hasta ahora. Puedes hacerlo directamente con el nodo "change" o con una funcion. Como ejemplo mira de importar el flow que acabo de posterar en otro hilo de como hacer un boton que cambie el texto,el color y de 0 o 1 cada vez que pulses, igual te intere…
