How can i change the current date to this format(DD/MM/YYYY) using moment.js?

I have tried below code.

Answer 1

for anyone who's using react-moment:

simply use format prop to your needed format:

const now = new Date()
<Moment format="DD/MM/YYYY">{now}</Moment>

Answer 2

This worked for me

var dateToFormat = "2018-05-16 12:57:13"; //TIMESTAMP

moment(dateToFormat).format("DD/MM/YYYY"); // you get "16/05/2018"

Answer 3

You need to call format() function to get the formatted value

$scope.SearchDate = moment(new Date()).format("DD/MM/YYYY")
//or $scope.SearchDate = moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY")

The syntax you have used is used to parse a given string to date object by using the specified formate

Answer 4

This actually worked for me:

moment(mydate).format('L');

Answer 5

You can use this

moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY");

However, this returns a date string in the specified format for today, not a moment date object. Doing the following will make it a moment date object in the format you want.

var someDateString = moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY");
var someDate = moment(someDateString, "DD/MM/YYYY");
