Convert javascript date format from yyyy.mm.dd to dd.mm.yyyy

Question

How I can change the date format from yyyy.mm.dd to dd.mm.yyyy in javascript?

For example, I want to convert the date 1880.07.15 to 15.07.1880

 function declOfNum(number, titles) { cases = [2, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2]; return number + " " +titles[(number % 100 > 4 && number % 100 < 20) ? 2 : cases[(number % 10 < 5) ? number % 10 : 5]]; } function birthDateToAge(b) { var n = new Date(), b = new Date(b), age = n.getFullYear() - b.getFullYear(); return n.setFullYear(1972) < b.setFullYear(1972) ? age - 1 : age; } document.write( declOfNum(birthDateToAge("1880.07.15"), ['год', 'года', 'лет']) ); 

Thanks in advance.

You can simply achieve your requirement like this.

 change_format = function(date){ var date_element = date.split('.'); var reverse_date_element =date_element.reverse(); return reverse_date_element.join('.'); } console.log(change_format("1880.07.15")); /*--------------- or ---------------------*/ change_date_format = function(date){ var date_string = date.split('.').join('-'); var date = new Date(date_string); return ((date.getDate()).toString().length > 1 ? date.getDate() : '0'+ (date.getDate() + 1 ) )+'.'+ ((date.getMonth()).toString().length > 1 ? date.getMonth() + 1 : '0'+ (date.getMonth() + 1 ) ) + '.' + date.getFullYear() ; } console.log(change_date_format("1880.07.15"));
