Hello, thanks for your reply! The DATETIME_FORMAT setting of Django uses format strings that are incompatible with JS. E.g the default DATETIME_FORMAT value in Django is 'N j, Y'.
You can check the allowed format strings in Django documentation <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/templates/builtins/#std-templatefilter-date> . - Gagan Deep On Thursday, March 21, 2024 at 7:28:29 PM UTC+5:30 Matthias Yeni wrote: > To format the timestamp in JavaScript according to the format defined by > Django, you can use Django settings to determine the format and adapt it in > JavaScript.
