Here is the part from my code where I get the value of the date

Any Ideas ? I didn't know how to implement

"toLocaleDateString()"

You can use momentjs and format the string like this:

moment(date).format('MM-DD-YYYY');

Or if that's not an option, you can use Date object and use this solution .
