DD/MM/YYYY Date format in Moment.js

Question

How can i change the current date to this format(DD/MM/YYYY) using moment.js?

I have tried below code.

$scope.SearchDate = moment(new Date(), "DD/MM/YYYY");

But it's return 0037-11-24T18:30:00.000Z. Did't help to format current date.

You need to call format() function to get the formatted value

$scope.SearchDate = moment(new Date()).format("DD/MM/YYYY")
//or $scope.SearchDate = moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY")

The syntax you have used is used to parse a given string to date object by using the specified formate

@RameshRajendran `$scope.SearchDate = moment(moment.now()).format("DD/MM/YYYY")` – Hlawuleka MAS Jun 07 '17 at 09:36

`moment()` is the same as `moment(new Date())` – Liam Aug 11 '20 at 13:17

You can use this

moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY");

However, this returns a date string in the specified format for today, not a moment date object. Doing the following will make it a moment date object in the format you want.

var someDateString = moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY");
var someDate = moment(someDateString, "DD/MM/YYYY");

I have date format in 'MM/DD/YY' and wants to convert it to 'DD/MM/YYYY'. So my doubt is how will moment know what format is it in. Suppose the date is '06/05/20'. How will moment know if it's MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY – Naman Jain Jul 21 '20 at 06:57

This worked for me

var dateToFormat = "2018-05-16 12:57:13"; //TIMESTAMP

moment(dateToFormat).format("DD/MM/YYYY"); // you get "16/05/2018"

This will return MM/DD/YYYY. But in the actual question he is expecting DD/MM/YYYY format. – RajuPedda Sep 24 '19 at 14:32

for anyone who's using react-moment:

simply use format prop to your needed format:

const now = new Date()
<Moment format="DD/MM/YYYY">{now}</Moment>

A safe way to do this

moment.locale('en-US');
moment().format("L");

"06/23/2021"

moment.locale('fr');
moment().format("L");

"23/06/2021"
