I need to get the date format as 'DD-Mon-YYYY' in javascript. I had asked a question, and it got marked duplicate to jQuery date formatting

But, the answers provided in the question are to get the current date in "DD-MM-YYYY" format and not "DD-MON-YYYY". Secondly, I am not using datepicker plugin.

Can you please help me as if how to get the current date in "DD-Mon-YYYY" format.

There is no native format in javascript for DD-Mon-YYYY.

You will have to put it all together manually.

The answer is inspired from :How to format a JavaScript date

// Attaching a new function toShortFormat() to any instance of Date() class
Date.prototype.toShortFormat = function() { let monthNames =["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr", "May","Jun","Jul","Aug", "Sep", "Oct","Nov","Dec"]; let day = this.getDate(); let monthIndex = this.getMonth(); let monthName = monthNames[monthIndex]; let year = this.getFullYear(); return `${day}-${monthName}-${year}`;
}
// Now any Date object can be declared
let anyDate = new Date(1528578000000);
// and it can represent itself in the custom format defined above.
console.log(anyDate.toShortFormat()); // 10-Jun-2018
let today = new Date();
console.log(today.toShortFormat()); // today's date

You can use toLocaleDateString and hunt for a format that's close to DD-mmm-YYYY (hint: 'en-GB'; you just need to replace the spaces with '-').

const date = new Date();
const formattedDate = date.toLocaleDateString('en-GB', { day: 'numeric', month: 'short', year: 'numeric'
}).replace(/ /g, '-');
console.log(formattedDate);

Use the Moment.js library It will save you a LOT of trouble.

moment().format('DD-MMM-YYYY');

Can be done with toLocaleDateString

<script>
const date = new Date();
const formattedDate = date.toLocaleDateString('en-GB', { day: '2-digit', month: 'short', year: 'numeric'
}).replace(/ /g, '-');
document.write(formattedDate);
</script>

I've made a custom date string format function, you can use that.

var getDateString = function(date, format) { var months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'], getPaddedComp = function(comp) { return ((parseInt(comp) < 10) ? ('0' + comp) : comp) }, formattedDate = format, o = { "y+": date.getFullYear(), // year "M+": months[date.getMonth()], //month "d+": getPaddedComp(date.getDate()), //day "h+": getPaddedComp((date.getHours() > 12) ? date.getHours() % 12 : date.getHours()), //hour "H+": getPaddedComp(date.getHours()), //hour "m+": getPaddedComp(date.getMinutes()), //minute "s+": getPaddedComp(date.getSeconds()), //second "S+": getPaddedComp(date.getMilliseconds()), //millisecond, "b+": (date.getHours() >= 12) ? 'PM' : 'AM' }; for (var k in o) { if (new RegExp("(" + k + ")").test(format)) { formattedDate = formattedDate.replace(RegExp.$1, o[k]); } } return formattedDate; };

And now suppose you've :-

 var date = "2014-07-12 10:54:11";

So to format this date you write:-

var formattedDate = getDateString(new Date(date), "d-M-y")

const date = new Date();
date.toLocaleDateString('en-GB', { day: 'numeric', month: 'short', year: 'numeric' }))

Using the Intl object (or via toLocaleString) is somewhat problematic, but it can be made precise using the formatToParts method and manually putting the parts in order, e.g.

function formatDate(date = new Date()) { let {day, month, year} = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en', { day:'2-digit', month: 'short', year: 'numeric' }).formatToParts(date).reduce((acc, part) => { if (part.type != 'literal') { acc[part.type] = part.value; } return acc; }, Object.create(null)); return `${day}-${month}-${year}`;
}
console.log(formatDate());

Using reduce on the array returned by formatToParts trims out the literals and creates an object with named properties that is then assigned to variables and finally formatted.

This function doesn't always work nicely for languages other than English though as the short month name may have punctuation.

/* #No parameters returns a date with this format DD-MM-YYYY
*/
function now()
{ var d = new Date(); var month = d.getMonth()+1; var day = d.getDate(); var output = (day<10 ? '0' : '') + day + "-" + (month<10 ? '0' : '') + month + '-' + d.getFullYear(); return output;
}

Pass data changeFormate(15/07/2020)

 changeFormate(date) {
let month_names = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];
let incomingDateChnge: any = new Date(date);
let incomingDay = incomingDateChnge.getDate();
let incomingMonth = incomingDateChnge.getMonth();
let incomingYear = incomingDateChnge.getFullYear();
if (incomingDay < 10) { incomingDay = '0' + incomingDay;
}
incomingDateChnge = incomingDay + ' ' + month_names[incomingMonth] + ' ' + incomingYear;
return incomingDateChnge; }

Here's a simple solution, using TypeScript:

 convertDateStringToDate(dateStr) { // Convert a string like '2020-10-04T00:00:00' into '4/Oct/2020' let months = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec']; let date = new Date(dateStr); let str = date.getDate() + '/' + months[date.getMonth()] + '/' + date.getFullYear() return str; }

(Yeah, I know the question was about JavaScript, but I'm sure I won't be the only Angular developer coming across this article !)

By default, new Date().toString() will always return 'Sun Dec 12 2021...', so:

d=new Date();
s=d.getDate()+'-'+d.toString().substr(4,3)+'-'+d.getFullYear();
console.log(s);

No JQuery needed.

const date = new Date();
const formattedDate = date.toLocaleDateString('en-GB', { day: 'numeric', month: 'short', year: 'numeric'
});
console.log(formattedDate);

the DD-MM-YYYY is just one of the formats. The format of the jquery plugin, is based on this list:

Tested following code in chrome console:

test = new Date()
test.format('d-M-Y')
"15-Dec-2014"

const monthNames = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"];
var currDate= new Date();
var newDate=currDate.toLocaleDateString();
var splitNewDate= newDate.split('/');
var formatDate= splitNewDate[1] + '-'+ monthNames[splitNewDate[0]] +'-'+ splitNewDate[2];
console.log(formatDate);

//convert DateTime result in jquery mvc 5 using entity fremwork
const monthNames = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"];
function DateAndTime(date) { var value = new Date ( parseInt(date.replace(/(^.*\()|([+-].*$)/g, '')) ); var dat = value.getDate() + "-" + monthNames[value.getMonth()] + "-" + value.getFullYear(); var hours = value.getHours(); var minutes = value.getMinutes(); var ampm = hours >= 12 ? 'PM' : 'AM'; hours = hours % 12; hours = hours ? hours : 12; // the hour '0' should be '12' minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0' + minutes : minutes; var strTime = hours + ':' + minutes + ' ' + ampm; return { Date: dat, Time: strTime };
}
// var getdate = DateAndTime(StartDate);
//var Date = getdate.Date;//here get date
//var time = getdate.Time;//here get Time
//alert(Date)

var date = new Date();
console.log(date.toJSON().slice(0,10).replace(new RegExp("-", 'g'),"/" ).split("/").reverse().join("/")+" "+date.toJSON().slice(11,19));

// output : 01/09/2016 18:30:00

 var today = new Date(); var formattedtoday = today.getDate() + '-' + (today.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + today.getFullYear(); alert(formattedtoday);

Use date format dd-MM-yy . It will output like: 16-December-2014.
