XDate: Extending the Parser

xdate_extending_parser.js

// You can extend the parser by adding a new parsing function to the `XDate.parsers` array.
// This function is given a single string argument and should return an XDate if parsing was successful.

function parseMDY(str) {
	// this example parses dates like "month/date/year"
	var parts = str.split('/');
	if (parts.length == 3) {
		return new XDate(
			parseInt(parts[2]), // year
			parseInt(parts[0]), // month
			parseInt(parts[1]) // date
		);
	}
}

XDate.parsers.push(parseMDY);

var d = new XDate("6/8/1986");
