How to format the date in angularJS?

Question

I retrieve the data from MongoDB,and it contains date, but the date is String format. I'm trying to use following codes to format the date:

var str = data.date;// assume that is 2002/2/2
var date = new Date(str);
console.log(date);

However the output is :Sat Feb 02 2002 00:00:00 GMT+1100 (AEDT) How can I make the output become the YYYY/MM/DD? Many thanks .

You can easily use a date filter do that in your HTML Template:

{{date | date: 'YYYY/MM/DD'}}

Change your controller code to:

var str = data.date;
$scope.date = new Date(str);

so that 'date' can be binded to the HTML template as explained.

Thanks a lot, but the output is YYYY/02/DD only the month is correct. – RMITcoder Jul 16 '15 at 08:19
