How to change the default date format in JavaScript

Question

I have the following format of date 1.7.2015 19:18 which is date.month.year format.

When I convert it into the date variable it is converting as mm-dd-yy format.

How can I achieve the format of dd-mm-yyyy for the same in JavaScript.

This question has been asked countless times. Google it before asking a question man! — jonny, Jul 01 '15 at 13:52

You can try moment.js @ http://momentjs.com/

You can play around with all sort of date functions. Format & Parse the way you want.

moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a');
will format the current date in this format:
July 1st 2015, 7:25:03 pm

If the date value is being retrieved from an input field then you can do something like this:

Javascript

window.onload = function(){
    var splitted_date = document.getElementById("date").value.split("-"),
        day = splitted_date[1],
        month = splitted_date[0],
        year = splitted_date[2],
        formatted_date = day + "-" + month + "-" + year;
};
