How do you format a Date/Time in TypeScript?

Option 1: Momentjs:

Install:

npm install moment --save

Import:

import * as moment from 'moment';

Usage:

let formattedDate = (moment(yourDate)).format('DD-MMM-YYYY HH:mm:ss')

Option 2: Use DatePipe if you are doing Angular:

Import:

import { DatePipe } from '@angular/common';

Usage:

const datepipe: DatePipe = new DatePipe('en-US')
let formattedDate = datepipe.transform(yourDate, 'dd-MMM-YYYY HH:mm:ss')

If you want the time out as well as the date you want Date.toLocaleString().

This was direct from my console:

> new Date().toLocaleString()
> "11/10/2016, 11:49:36 AM"

You can then input locale strings and format string to get the precise output you want.
