How to convert unix to date and save new nested object?

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a nested object in an array like:

JavaScript

[{amount: 73, date: '1605015361'},
{amount: 115, date: '1605018961'},
{amount: 135, date: '1605022560'},
{amount: 75, date: '1605026160'},]

And I'm trying to figure out how I can transform it into regular date like:

JavaScript

[{amount: 73, date: '11/10/2020'},
{amount: 115, date: '11/10/2020'},
{amount: 135, date: '11/10/2020'},
{amount: 75, date: '11/10/2020'}]

Thanks so much!

What I have tried:

I know I can convert the unix date using:

JavaScript

const milliseconds = unixDate * 1000 
              
const dateObject = new Date(milliseconds)
              
const regularDate = dateObject.toLocaleString()

but I'm not sure how to go through the array of objects and save the new date format inside, while preserving the original structure.

JavaScript

var ar1 = [
    { amount: 73, date: '1605015361' },
    { amount: 115, date: '1605018961' },
    { amount: 135, date: '1605022560' },
    { amount: 75, date: '1605026160' }
];

function converter(array) {
    for (let x = 0; x < array.length; x++) {
        var neww = new Date(array[x].date * 1000).toLocaleDateString("en-US")
        console.log(neww);
        array[x].date = neww
    }
}
converter(ar1);
console.log(ar1);
