I want to change a date's format in JavaScript. I tried

 var today = new Date();
 today.toLocaleFormat('%d-%b-%Y');

but that didn't work. How can I approach this problem?

  • toLocaleFormat method of Date object is deprecated...This what link suggests "This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future." – Rakesh_Kumar Jan 20 '15 at 06:02

I think there is no straight way to do so. Let's check these out:

var date = new Date();
var options = {
    weekday: "long", year: "numeric", month: "short",
    day: "numeric", hour: "2-digit", minute: "2-digit"
};

//alert(date.toLocaleDateString("en-US"));
alert(date.toLocaleTimeString("en-us", options));

And I think you are looking for this:

var myDate = new Date();
alert(myDate.getDate()  + "-" + (myDate.getMonth() + 1)+ "-" + myDate.getFullYear());

Yes, I've googled and got this solution. Please check it out. :) Thanks!

Please find below my answer ,

var today = new Date(); 
var dd = today.getDate(); 
var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //January is 0! 
var yyyy = today.getFullYear(); 
if(dd<10)
{
    dd='0'+dd
} 
if(mm<10)
{  
    mm='0'+mm 
} 
var today = dd+'/'+mm+'/'+yyyy;

date = new Date();
date.format('dd st-MMM-yyyy');

Here's an article that explains it in depth.

According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toLocaleFormat, it is not recommended to use the above function.

Check out https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toLocaleString instead.
