Using moment.js to convert date to string “MM/dd/yyyy”

Question

I need to take the date value from jquery datepicker turn it into string format \"MM/dd/yyyy\" so it can do the right ajax post. When the page loads or upon changing the datepic

Answer 1

I think you just have incorrect casing in the format string. According to the documentation this should work for you: MM/DD/YYYY

moment.js documentation

Answer 2

StartDate = moment(StartDate).format('MM-YYYY');

...and MySQL date format:

StartDate = moment(StartDate).format('YYYY-MM-DD');

Answer 3

Try this:

var momentObj = $("#start_ts").datepicker("getDate");

var yourDate = momentObj.format('L');

Answer 4

this also might be relevant to anyone using React -

install react-moment (npm i react-moment)

import Moment from 'react-moment'


<Moment format="MM/DD/YYYY">{yourTimeStamp}</Moment>

(or any other format you'd like)
