How can I convert string to datetime with format specification in JavaScript?

Question

How can I convert a string to a date time object in javascript by specifying a format string?

I am looking for something like:

var dateTime = convert

You can use the moment.js library for this. I am using only to get time-specific output but you can select what kind of format you want to select.

Reference:

1. moment library: https://momentjs.com/

2. time and date specific functions: https://timestamp.online/article/how-to-convert-timestamp-to-datetime-in-javascript

convertDate(date) {
        var momentDate = moment(date).format('hh : mm A');
        return momentDate;
}

and you can call this method like:

this.convertDate('2020-05-01T10:31:18.837Z');

I hope it helps. Enjoy coding.
