How to Parse a TimeStamp (such as 2016-11-11T14:32:17.0908971Z)

Timestamps are frequently used in REST API responses. This example demonstrates how to parse a timestamp string to get at the date/time components in the local timezone or in the GMT/UTC timezone. React Native

import { CkDateTime, DtObj } from '@chilkat/react-native'

function chilkatExample() {
  // Let's say we have a timestamp string such as 2016-11-11T14:32:17.0908971Z
  const strTimestamp = '2016-11-11T14:32:17.0908971Z';

  const dateTime = new CkDateTime();
  dateTime.setFromTimestamp(strTimestamp);

  // Get a DtObj in the local timezone.
  let bLocalTimezone = true;
  const dt = new DtObj();
  dateTime.toDtObj(bLocalTimezone, dt);

  // Get the individual date/time components
  console.log('-- Local Time --');
  console.log(`Year: ${dt.year}`);
  console.log(`Month: ${dt.month}`);
  console.log(`Day: ${dt.day}`);
  console.log(`Hour: ${dt.hour}`);
  console.log(`Minutes: ${dt.minute}`);
  console.log(`Seconds: ${dt.second}`);

  // Get a DtObj in the GMT/UTC timezone.
  bLocalTimezone = false;
  dateTime.toDtObj(bLocalTimezone, dt);

  // Get the individual date/time components
  console.log('-- UTC Time --');
  console.log(`Year: ${dt.year}`);
  console.log(`Month: ${dt.month}`);
  console.log(`Day: ${dt.day}`);
  console.log(`Hour: ${dt.hour}`);
  console.log(`Minutes: ${dt.minute}`);
  console.log(`Seconds: ${dt.second}`);
