How to remove time from the date format?

Question

I am trying to remove time from the date format which is coming from the backend , what is correct approach to achieve this task? Its not a date object.

main.js

const date = "2020-08-05 00:08:00 "
console.log(date.split[0];

should output (but it is not happening):

"2020-08-05"

I took the liberty to "clarify" your question from my understanding... If it is not correct, click "edit" and roll back to the previous version. — Louys Patrice Bessette, Nov 12 '20 at 17:29
You need to specify a delimiter for split, so simply `date.split(" ")[0]` will work (basically what @alvaro posted below). — Brett84c, Nov 12 '20 at 17:29

You should split by blank space and then get the first element, remember that split is a function.

const date = "2020-08-05 00:08:00 "
console.log(date.split(" ")[0]);

You could use regex as date format will be the same always.

const date = '2020-08-05 00:08:00 ';
const ret = date.match(/\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}/);
console.log(ret[0]);
