format date in js yyyy-mm-dd code example

Example 1: javascript convert date to yyyy-mm-dd

// `date` is a `Date` object
const formatYmd = date => date.toISOString().slice(0, 10);

// Example
formatYmd(new Date());      // 2020-05-06

Example 2: change the way Date.now().toString() is logged

var date = Date.parse('Sun May 11,2014');

function format(date) {
  date = new Date(date);

  var day = ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2);
  var month = ('0' + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);
  var year = date.getFullYear();

  return year + '-' + month + '-' + day;
}

console.log(format(date));

Example 3: java script print date in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format

let date_ob = new Date();

// adjust 0 before single digit date
let date = ("0" + date_ob.getDate()).slice(-2);

// current month
let month = ("0" + (date_ob.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);

// current year
let year = date_ob.getFullYear();

// current hours
let hours = date_ob.getHours();

// current minutes
let minutes = date_ob.getMinutes();

// current seconds
let seconds = date_ob.getSeconds();

// prints date & time in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format
console.log(year + "-" + month + "-" + date + " " + hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds);

Example 4: javascript format date yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss to dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm am/pm

dateString = '2020-04-03 20:30:55';

function formatDate(dateString)
    {
        var allDate = dateString.split(' ');
        var thisDate = allDate[0].split('-');
        var thisTime = allDate[1].split(':');
        var newDate = [thisDate[2],thisDate[1],thisDate[0] ].join("-");

        var suffix = thisTime[0] >= 12 ? "PM":"AM";
        var hour = thisTime[0] > 12 ? thisTime[0] - 12 : thisTime[0];
        var hour =hour < 10 ? "0" + hour : hour;
        var min = thisTime[1] ;
        var sec = thisTime[2] ;
        var newTime = hour + ':' + min + suffix;

        return newDate + ' ' + newTime;
    }

var day = pad2(date.getDate());//day (1-31)

} 

if(mm<10) 
{
    mm=`0${mm}`;
} 
today = `${mm}-${dd}-${yyyy}`;
console.log(today);
today = `${mm}/${dd}/${yyyy}`;
