var myDateVariable= moment("2014-07-28").format("YYYY/MM/DD")
var newDateVariableMonth = moment(moment("2014-07-28").format("YYYY/MM/DD")).format('MMMM');


console.log(myDateVariable);
console.log(newDateVariableMonth);

Output

"2014/07/28"
"July"

  • `moment(moment("2014-07-28").format("YYYY/MM/DD")).format('MMMM');`??? why not just `moment("2014-07-28").format('MMMM');`? – Jaromanda X Oct 23 '20 at 05:12

    Or why not myDataVariable.format('MMMM') – Cole Arseneau Oct 23 '20 at 05:14
  • Hi All, appreciate your comments. This answer was specific to a project I am doing where in I need to have the date in a specific format for validation. Yes, `moment("2014-07-28").format('MMMM');` and `myDataVariable.format('MMMM')` Both are correct way to do instead. @JaromandaX et all thanks for pointing out. – Kshitij Zutshi Oct 26 '20 at 05:20
