You can learn more about formatting with moment.js here.
Escape words in formatting with escaping-characters "[]".
console.log(moment());
console.log(moment().format('ddd, DD MMM YYYY HH:mm:ss [GMT]'));
console.log(moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD[T]HH:mm:ss[Z]'));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.22.2/moment.min.js"></script>

you can also try like below for
nodejs
var moment = require('moment');
var format1 = moment().utcOffset(330).format('ddd, DD MMM YYYY HH:mm:ss [GMT]')
var format2 = moment().toDate();
console.log(format1);
console.log(format2);
angular
import moment from 'moment';
var format1 = moment().utcOffset(330).format('ddd, DD MMM YYYY HH:mm:ss [GMT]')
var format2 = moment().toDate();
console.log(format1);
console.log(format2);
Install moment like below
npm install --save moment
Html javascript
var format1 = moment().utcOffset(330).format('ddd, DD MMM YYYY HH:mm:ss [GMT]')
var format2 = moment().toDate();
console.log(format1);
console.log(format2);
moment source script
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.22.2/moment.min.js"></script>

You can use toGMTSting method to convert local time into GMT format. Hope this helps..
console.log(new Date().toGMTString());
console.log(new Date("Fri Jan 20 2012 11:51:36 GMT-0530").toGMTString());

You can try these also:
var moment = require('moment');
let startDate= new moment('11/22/1990','MM/DD/YYYY').format("YYYY/MM/DD");
You can also understand these:
let otherDate= 1399919400000;
var neweDate = moment(otherDate).format('DD/MM/YYYY');
//My neweDate output is "13/05/2014";
moment.locale('cs');
console.log(moment.locale()); // en
moment("2010-10-20 4:30", "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm"); // parsed as 4:30 local time
moment("2010-10-20 4:30 +0000", "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm Z"); // parsed as 4:30 UTC
You can verify the date also:
moment("not a real date").isValid(); // false
moment("2010 13", "YYYY MM").isValid(); // false (not a real month)
moment("2010 11 31", "YYYY MM DD").isValid(); // false (not a real day)
moment("2010 2 29", "YYYY MM DD").isValid(); // false (not a leap year)
moment("2010 notamonth 29", "YYYY MMM DD").isValid(); // false (not a real month name)
You can create a Moment with a pre-existing native Javascript Date object.
var day = new Date(2011, 9, 16);
var dayWrapper = moment(day);
You can create a moment with an array of numbers that mirror the parameters passed to new Date()
[year, month, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond]
moment([2010, 1, 14, 15, 25, 50, 125]); // February 14th, 3:25:50.125 PM
Any value past the year is optional, and will default to the lowest possible number.
moment([2010]); // January 1st
moment([2010, 6]); // July 1st
moment([2010, 6, 10]); // July 10th

moment js custom date format conversion is going wrong

In my angular 4 application I am am receiving the date input in the below format:
"26-SEP-17 09.20.44.123000 AM", I need to convert this to "Sep 26, 2017 9:20:44 AM". So I have used momentjs and the code is as shown below:
var convertedDate = moment("26-SEP-17 09.20.44.123000 AM", 'DD-MMM-YY HH.mm.ss.SSS a').format('MMM d, YYYY h:mm:ss A');
console.log(convertedDate)
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.10.3/moment.js"></script>
But I am getting convertedDate as "Sep 2, 2017 9:20:44 AM". I could not able to understand why I am getting the date as Sep 2, 2017 instead Sep 26, 2017, even though the hours, min and sec are coming correctly.

Use correct format DD instead of d
var convertedDate = moment("26-SEP-17 09.20.44.123000 AM", 'DD-MMM-YY HH.mm.ss.SSS a').format('MMM DD, YYYY h:mm:ss A');
console.log(convertedDate)
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.10.3/moment.js"></script>

instead of format('MMM d, YYYY h:mm:ss A'),
make it format('MMM DD, YYYY h:mm:ss A') //notice the 'd' become 'DD'
your new code must be:
convertedDate = moment("26-SEP-17 09.20.44.123000 AM", 'DD-MMM-YY HH.mm.ss.SSS a').format('MMM DD, YYYY h:mm:ss A');

Use Moment.js to convert Unix epoch time to human readable time

I'm trying to use Moment.js to convert a Unix epoch time to a date and time. I'd also like to know how to have it formatted like below.
Tuesday, November 22, 2016 6:00 PM

moment.unix(yourUnixEpochTime).format('dddd, MMMM Do, YYYY h:mm:ss A')

From the Docs: Unix Timestamp
var day = moment.unix(1318781876); //seconds
var day = moment(1318781876406); //milliseconds
// and then:
console.log(day.format('dddd MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a'));
// "Sunday October 16th 2011, 9:17:56 am"

You can use .format('LLLL') for your requirement.
let result = moment(epoch).format('LLLL');
let epoch = 1562127342123;
let result = moment(epoch).format('LLLL');
console.log(result);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.24.0/moment.min.js" integrity="sha256-4iQZ6BVL4qNKlQ27TExEhBN1HFPvAvAMbFavKKosSWQ=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

You can use moment.unix(epochTime).

Moment JS converts the Unix time to GMT equivalent. To convert it to EST which is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) :
[momentjs]
const moment = require('moment');
console.log(moment(1580331903396).subtract(5, 'hours').format('MMMM Do, YYYY - h:mm:ss A '))

Dynamically convert timestamp to a different timezone [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to convert Moment.js date to users local timezone?
(5 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I am using moment.js and moment-timezone. how can I create a function to convert 2016-06-12 06:22:18 UTC time to the user's timezone time and then format the time to Jun 12, 2015 6:22 PM
for example:
updateTime("2016-06-12 06:22:18");
if in chicago, the output will be:
"Jun 12, 2016, 1:22 AM"

You can try something like this.
moment.utc("2016-06-12 06:22:18", "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss").tz('America/Chicago').format("MMM D, YYYY, hh:mm a")

Hey this links may help you
https://gist.github.com/founddrama/2182389
https://www.sitepoint.com/managing-dates-times-using-moment-js/
http://momentjs.com/timezone/docs/
Examples:
moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a'); // June 20th 2016, 11:10:20 am
moment().format('dddd'); // Monday
moment().format("MMM Do YY"); // Jun 20th 16
moment().format('YYYY [escaped] YYYY'); // 2016 escaped 2016
moment().format();
moment.tz('2016-01-01', 'America/Chicago').format('z');

You might want to look at this answer, perhaps: Get current timestamp from specific timezone
They solved by taking the time in UTC and converting it in the specific time
var utcEpochSeconds = dateObj.getTime() + (dateObj.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);

The function you need would be like this :
function getLocalDate (input)
{
var dt= moment.utc(input);
dt.add(moment().utcOffset(),'minutes');
return moment(dt).format('MMM D, YYYY, hh:mm a');
};
Or this :
function getLocalDate(input)
{
return moment.utc(input).local().format('MMM D, YYYY, hh:mm a');
};

How to convert UTC datetime to different format

I have a datetime string in the following format.
var datetime="Thu May 5 05:30:00 UTC+0530 2011" ;
I want to convert it in the following format. How can I do it in javascript
"Thursday, 05 May 2011"

The globalize plugin has date parsing and formatting features.
Here is an example from the plugin page:
Globalize.format( new Date(1955,10,5), "dddd MMMM d, yyyy" ); // "Saturday November 5, 1955"

The date.js library is very useful for working with Dates.
Formatting examples:
Date.today().toString("dddd MMMM d, yyyy"); // Monday November 19, 2007
Date.today().toString(); // native .toString() functionality
Date.today().toString("M/d/yyyy"); // 11/19/2007
Date.today().toString("d-MMM-yyyy"); // 19-Nov-2007
new Date().toString("HH:mm"); // 18:45
Parsing examples:
Date.parse('today');
Date.parse('t + 5 d'); // today + 5 days
Date.parse('next thursday');
Date.parse('February 20th 1973');
Date.parse('Thu, 1 July 2004 22:30:00');
