Moment.js - How to convert date string into date?

If you are getting a JS based date String then first use the new Date(String) constructor and then pass the Date object to the moment method. Like:

var dateString = 'Thu Jul 15 2016 19:31:44 GMT+0200 (CEST)';
var dateObj = new Date(dateString);
var momentObj = moment(dateObj);
var momentString = momentObj.format('YYYY-MM-DD'); // 2016-07-15

In case dateString is 15-07-2016, then you should use the moment(date:String, format:String) method

var dateString = '07-15-2016';
var momentObj = moment(dateString, 'MM-DD-YYYY');
var momentString = momentObj.format('YYYY-MM-DD'); // 2016-07-15

Parse string to date with moment.js

You need to use the .format() function.

MM - Month number

MMM - Month word

var date = moment("2014-02-27T10:00:00").format('DD-MM-YYYY');
var dateMonthAsWord = moment("2014-02-27T10:00:00").format('DD-MMM-YYYY');

moment js to convert date from one format to other

From moment docs:

By default, two digit years above 68 are assumed to be in the 1900's and years 68 or below are assumed to be in the 2000's. This can be changed by replacing the moment.parseTwoDigitYear method.

So if you replace moment.parseTwoDigitYear in you code, you will have 2069 instead of 1969.

Here a working example:

moment.parseTwoDigitYear = function(year){  return parseInt(year, 10) + 2000;};
var s1 = moment("23MAY68", 'DDMMMYY').format('YYYY-MM-DD');var s2 = moment("23MAY99", 'DDMMMYY').format('YYYY-MM-DD');
console.log(s1, s2);
