How to convert a Date timestamp to mm/dd/yyyy in Js/Angular-CodePudding

I'm using angular 14. I've an object where key-value is this:

processStartDate: Date Wed May 10 2023 05:30:00 GMT 0530 (India Standard Time)

I want to convert that timestamp to just 'mm/dd/yyyy'.

I tried this:

finalStartDate: new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").format(new Date(this.processStartDate));

But it says: "Cannot find name 'SimpleDateFormat'.ts(2304)". Please help me.

You can create this custom function in a common file and access it wherever you want.

export function formatDate(date: Date): string {
    if (isNaN(date.getTime())) {
        return '';
    } else {
        const month = date.getMonth()   1;
        const day = date.getDate();
        const year = date.getFullYear();
        return ('00'   month).slice(-2)   '/'   ('00'   day).slice(-2)   '/'   year;
    }
}


finalStartDate = formatDate(new Date(this.processStartDate));

Try this:

date.toLocaleDateString('en-US', {month:'2-digit', day: '2-digit',
year:'numeric'});

You might have to register the Locale like this:

import { registerLocaleData } from '@angular/common';
import localeEn from '@angular/common/locales/en';
import localeEnExtra from '@angular/common/locales/extra/en';
registerLocaleData(localeEn, 'en-US', localeEnExtra);

Source .toLocaleDateString()
