format date based on format in JavaScript

Question

I have a date variable like:

var date_value = new Date(
  parseInt(date.year()),
  parseInt(date.month()) - 1,
  parseInt(date.day()));

// date_value = Date 2016-07-24T21:00:00.000Z

I want to format that date into many formats. Is there is any built-in function in JavaScript to format that date into any format I want in the convention of Python Example: (%m%d%Y),(%d%m%Y),("%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S") ? I used the $.datepicker.formatDate('mm/dd/yy 00:00:00', date_value) but it doesn't fit my needs.

Answer 1

There is not built-in functionality to format dates. You need to use an external library like moment.js .

Answer 2

 date_value = moment().year(year).month(month).date(day); // or date_value = moment(date); date_value.format("M/D/Y HH:mm:ss"); 

Use momentjs
