How To Reduce a Javascript Date Object to a String in this Format: "02/14/2010"

Question

How can I convert Javascript Date Objects to a date string in the following format:

Date Object

2000-01-12 23:00:00.000Z

Resulting String

"01/12/2000 23"

Try: `(new Date('2000-01-12 23:00:00.000Z')).toLocaleString()` — tewathia, Feb 06 '14 at 08:59
@tewathia - `'2000-01-12 23:00:00.000Z'` isn't a valid date string. — Frogmouth, Feb 06 '14 at 09:02
This has been asked soooooo many times. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1056728/where-can-i-find-documentation-on-formatting-a-date-in-javascript — user568109, Feb 06 '14 at 09:03
@Frogmouth I wouldn't argue with that(I just copied the string from the question), but the Date constructor is incredibly flexible. The code I've written in my comment would work. — tewathia, Feb 06 '14 at 09:05
@tewathia - for me `.toLocaleString()` is a nice solution. **+1** for this. But form me, with `'2000-01-12 23:00:00.000Z'`, not work. Try yourself, in console get back `Date {Invalid Date}` but the solution (with well formatted date string) is nice. — Frogmouth, Feb 06 '14 at 09:09
@Frogmouth I did try it in the console, in Chrome V32. I get `>(new Date('2000-01-12 23:00:00.000Z')).toLocaleString(); >"1/13/2000 4:30:00 AM"`. Also, see http://jsfiddle.net/tewathia/X7LMP/ — tewathia, Feb 06 '14 at 09:14

3

date.getDate() + '/' +
(date.getMonth() +1) + '/' + 
date.getFullYear() + ' ' +
(date.getHours() + 1)

Why the +1 you ask? Because javascript. :(
