You could extract the date first, using date.slice(0,10) on your date: 2021-09-21T13:02:49.856+00:00.Then you may want to convert it using a handy time-dealing library, like Luxon.

A consequence of this approach is that it may change the date. Far better to parse the entire string then format the date from there. This question has been asked [many, many times before](https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=%5Bjavascript%5D+how+to+format+a+date). – RobG Sep 22 '21 at 22:32
