In this example on CodeSandbox I'm trying to get the date formatted as dddd, MMMM Do and the expected result should be like Thursday, January 13th but instead is 0013, January 13th
As per date-fns documentation here Date-fns format, writing dddd should give me back the name of the day but I got instead 0013 and I don't understand why.
I need help on what is wrong with the way I'm writing the date format and get the name of the day instead of that 0013.
You are using a new version of date-fns https://date-fns.org/v2.16.1/docs/format.
You may use format="iiii, MMMM Do".
i have the date in this format
const title = "2020-08-23T00:00:00.000Z"
i want to display this as August 19th, 2020
i have tried using below
<div>{moment(title).format('MMMM D')</div>
and this gives output like below
August 19
how can i modify the above to get output like August 19th, 2020 using javascript.
could someone help me with this.
thanks.
You can use the following:
moment(yourString).format('MMMM Do, YYYY');
Where:
'MMMM' --> month, capital, full length
'Do' --> day with order
'YYYY' --> year
To format date like "August 19th, 2020" use:
moment().format("MMMM Do, YYYY")
Read the documentation to find more about different date formatting options.
When I pick the value from the date picker input its in this format (Tue Mar 24 2020 17:00:00 GMT-0800(PST) I need to convert it to (MM-DD-YYYY)
Here is the part from my code where I get the value of the date
Reportinfo.ProjectDate = document.getElementById("date").value;
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.
I have used moment js in date & time formatting, to be in a readable and string(month) manner. Now I am trying to get the same original formate here:
My original value: 2019-04-23T19:17:48.000Z
After moment:
moment('2019-04-23T19:17:48.000Z').format('dddd Do YYYY, h:mm:ss')
output:
Wednesday 24th 2019, 12:47:48
now all I need my original value back by using the output here.
Any lead appreciates for the answer.
With only the data you're providing as an output of Wednesday 24th 2019, 12:47:48 am you can't really get back to your original value. If it were a valid date, there's not a month. You'd need logic to determine what 24ths of each month in 2019 are a Wednesday.
After some testing - there's a few things you need in order to get this string back into a date that Moment can recognize
moment('2019-04-23T19:17:48.000Z').format('dddd MMMM D YYYY, h:mm:ss a')
moment('Tuesday April 23 2019, 7:17:48 pm').format()
You have to have the month, otherwise it thinks its an invalid date. That can be the string of the month or just the number 4 in this case.
Moment won't take the rd from 23rd otherwise it's an invalid date.
You can either use some string transformations to get it back into a useable date object or add on a little extra data like the month and when you go to use that date format,
"Tuesday April 23 2019, 7:17:48 pm".replace('April ', '')
Here are the best solution for the date formate under UTC/GMT:
let dateTime = new Date("2015-09-30T19:54:21.000Z");
dateTime = moment(dateTime).utc().format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss");
moment(moment(dateTime).utc().format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss")).format();
o/p => "2015-09-30T14:24:21+05:30"
moment("2015-09-30T14:24:21+05:30").format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss")
o/p => "2015-09-30 14:24:21"
moment.tz('2015-09-30 14:24:21', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss', 'UTC').format()
final o/p => "2015-09-30T14:24:21Z"
I have a string in this format:
var testDate = "Fri Apr 12 2013 19:08:55 GMT-0500 (CDT)"
I would like to use Moment.js get it in this format mm/dd/yyyy : 04/12/2013 for display.
I tried to do it using this method,
moment(testDate,'mm/dd/yyyy');
Which errors and says there is no such method called replace? Am I approaching this in the wrong way?
Edit
I should also mention that I am using a pre-packaged version of Moment.js, packaged for Meteor.js
Object [object Date] has no method 'replace' : The Exact error from the console

The 2nd argument to moment() is a parsing format rather than an display format.
For that, you want the .format() method:
moment(testDate).format('MM/DD/YYYY');
Also note that case does matter. For Month, Day of Month, and Year, the format should be uppercase.
Include moment.js and using the below code you can format your date
var formatDate= 1399919400000;
var responseDate = moment(formatDate).format('DD/MM/YYYY');
My output is "13/05/2014"
moment().format(); // "2019-08-12T17:52:17-05:00" (ISO 8601, no fractional seconds)
moment().format("dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a"); // "Monday, August 12th 2019, 5:52:00 pm"
moment().format("ddd, hA"); // "Mon, 5PM"
You Probably Don't Need Moment.js Anymore
Moment is great time manipulation library but it's considered as a legacy project, and the team is recommending to use other libraries.
date-fns is one of the best lightweight libraries, it's modular, so you can pick the functions you need and reduce bundle size (issue & statement).
Another common argument against using Moment in modern applications is its size. Moment doesn't work well with modern "tree shaking" algorithms, so it tends to increase the size of web application bundles.
import { format } from 'date-fns' // 21K (gzipped: 5.8K)
import moment from 'moment' // 292.3K (gzipped: 71.6K)
Format date with date-fns:
// moment.js
moment().format('MM/DD/YYYY');
// => "12/18/2020"
// date-fns
import { format } from 'date-fns'
format(new Date(), 'MM/dd/yyyy');
// => "12/18/2020"
More on cheat sheet with the list of functions which you can use to replace moment.js: You-Dont-Need-Momentjs
var moment = require('moment');
let yourdate = '2021-01-02T07:57:45.121Z'; // for example
moment(yourdate).format('MM/DD/YYYY');
// output : 01-02-2021
moment(yourdate).format('DD-MMM-YYYY');
// output : 01-Jan-2021
For fromating output date use format. Second moment argument is for parsing - however if you omit it then you testDate will cause deprecation warning
Deprecation warning: value provided is not in a recognized RFC2822 or ISO format...
var testDate= "Fri Apr 12 2013 19:08:55 GMT-0500 (CDT)"
let s= moment(testDate).format('MM/DD/YYYY');
msg.innerText= s;
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.24.0/moment.min.js"></script>
<div id="msg"></div>
to omit this warning you should provide parsing format
var testDate= "Fri Apr 12 2013 19:08:55 GMT-0500 (CDT)"
let s= moment(testDate, 'ddd MMM D YYYY HH:mm:ss ZZ').format('MM/DD/YYYY');
console.log(s);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.24.0/moment.min.js"></script>
You can pass "L" to format method, which handles internationalisation...
moment.locale('en-US');
moment().format("L");
> "06/23/2021"
moment.locale('fr');
moment().format("L");
> "23/06/2021"
Other long date formats (fr locale):
LT : 'HH:mm',
LTS : 'HH:mm:ss',
L : 'DD/MM/YYYY',
LL : 'D MMMM YYYY',
LLL : 'D MMMM YYYY HH:mm',
LLLL : 'dddd D MMMM YYYY HH:mm'
Docs: https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/ (see "Localized formats")
To get the current UTC time in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:ss.Millisecond with timezone using moment format as below
moment().utc().format('Y-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.SSS Z').
Output
2022-09-20 15:28:39.446 +0000
May be this helps some one who are looking for multiple date formats one after the other by willingly or unexpectedly.
Please find the code:
I am using moment.js format function on a current date as (today is 29-06-2020)
var startDate = moment(new Date()).format('MM/DD/YY'); Result: 06/28/20
what happening is it retains only the year part :20 as "06/28/20", after If I run the statement :
new Date(startDate)
The result is "Mon Jun 28 1920 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)",
Then, when I use another format on "06/28/20": startDate = moment(startDate ).format('MM-DD-YYYY'); Result: 06-28-1920, in google chrome and firefox browsers it gives correct date on second attempt as: 06-28-2020. But in IE it is having issues, from this I understood we can apply one dateformat on the given date, If we want second date format, it should be apply on the fresh date not on the first date format result.
And also observe that for first time applying 'MM-DD-YYYY' and next 'MM-DD-YY' is working in IE.

Date went wrong when using Momentjs date format in IE 11
