Format JavaScript date as yyyy-mm-dd

Question

I have a date with the format Sun May 11,2014. How can I convert it to 2014-05-11 using JavaScript?

Answer 1

A combination of some of the answers:

var d = new Date(date);
date = [
  d.getFullYear(),
  ('0' + (d.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2),
  ('0' + d.getDate()).slice(-2)
].join('-');
