Answer 1

There is no straightforward way to do it. You can find your answer in a similar question here :

Answer 2

You can use date pipe to filter it out

html

<p>
  {{date | date:'dd MMMM yyyy'}}
</p>

In your controller

$scope.date = new Date("2018-04-16 15:12:46.179427");

To get directly in controller inject $filter

var date = $filter('date')(new Date("2018-04-16 15:12:46.179427"), 'dd MMMM yyyy');

console.log(date); // 16 April 2018

Answer 3

You can try the following:

var date = new Date("2018-04-16 15:12:46.179427".replace(/-/g,"/"));
var d = moment(date).format('D MMMM  YYYY')
console.log(d);

Answer 4

To convert this date using javascript you have to define the months like bellow.

const months = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
  "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
];

const date = new Date('2018-04-16 15:12:46.179427');
const formatedDate = date.getDate() + ' ' + months[date.getMonth()] +' '+ date.getFullYear();

But if you only want to show it in the UI, use a pipe to convert it.
