Javascript convert unix date to ddmmyy format

Question

I have a chart that's giving me this date:

1577612800000

I need to convert it to "ddmmyy" format

I found this:

var timestamp = 1577612800000;                 
var date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);

But it has no format.

How can I do this with format ddmmyy ?

I'd suggest using moment.js to do any sort of date conversions. Reason is, right now you'd need to do `date.getDate()`, `date.getMonth()+1`, and `date.getYear()` then manually format it. — VLAZ, Nov 17 '16 at 17:01

Get values from Date object and generate the string by concatenation.

var timestamp = 1577612800000;
var date = new Date(timestamp);
console.log(
  date.getDate() + '' + (date.getMonth()+1) + date.getFullYear()
)

@MarkcceEros : use `date.getYear()` – Pranav C Balan Nov 17 '16 at 17:30
But now the result has 7 digits? – Nov 17 '16 at 17:33
@MarkcceEros : you need to subtract 100 – Pranav C Balan Nov 17 '16 at 17:35

@MarkcceEros : `(date.getYear() - 100)` – Pranav C Balan Nov 17 '16 at 17:37
@MarkcceEros : or `date.getYear().toString().slice(-2)` – Pranav C Balan Nov 21 '16 at 02:55
