It can be achieved without moment.js, but I suggest you use it
var date = new Date("2017-06-10T16:08:00"); var year = date.getFullYear(); var month = date.getMonth()+1; var day = date.getDate(); if (day < 10) { day = '0' + day; } if (month < 10) { month = '0' + month; } var formattedDate = day + '-' + month + '-' + year Comments
If the date string is always in ISO format, you can also use regex to reformat without other library:
date.replace(/(\d{4})\-(\d{2})\-(\d{2}).*/, '$3-$2-$1')

You can use the JavaScript date() built in function to get parts of the date/time you want. For example to display the time is 10:30:
<script> var date = new Date(); var min = date.getMinutes(); var hour = date.getHour(); document.write(hour+":"+min); </script> To get the year, month, date, day of week use
getFullYear();
getMonth();
getDate();
getDay();
To get the date you posted:

var month = date.getMonth()+1; Month starts counting at 0, so January is 0, February is 1...
If you're looking to do this in vanilla javascript, @Ivan Mladenov's answer is great and can be consolidated slightly using padStart.
const date = new Date() const year = date.getFullYear() const month = String(date.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0') const day = String(date.getDate()).padStart(2, '0') console.log(`${day}-${month}-${year}`)

Using Date.toJSON()
function formatDate(userDate) { // format from M/D/YYYY to YYYYMMDD return (new Date(userDate).toJSON().slice(0,10).split('-').reverse().join('-')); } console.log(formatDate("2017-06-10T16:08:00"));

I would like to suggest to use moment js find it - http://momentjs.com/docs/
and use it like
moment(date.toString()).format("MM/DD/YYYY")
