Format a "yyyy-mm-dd" date into "dd month yyyy"

Question

I have a variable in my program that stores the date in the form of 2018-04-21. Now, how do I change the value into something like 21st April, 2018?

I need something like:

var date = stringifyTheDate(actual_date);

What should I include in the stringifyTheDate function to do that?

If you are using Moment.js this how you do it.

console.log(moment("2018-04-21").format("DD MMMM YYYY")); //prints 21 April, 2018

MomentJs is widely used library for date and time, if you are not using it then this is how you add it
