How to format date object as 02-Sep-2020 using JavaScript

Sachin Singh · Answer

you do not need to specify month name in array or anything , there is already a function toLocaleDateString that can do it for you. const date = new Date(); const formattedDate = date.toLocaleDateString( 'en-GB' , { day: '2-digit' , month: 'short' , year: 'numeric' }).replace(/ /g, '-' ); document.write(formattedDate); //02-Sep-2020

can you try this. var date = new Date(); console.log(date.toLocaleDateString( "en-US" , { day: 'numeric' }) + "-" + date.toLocaleDateString( "en-US" , { month: 'short' }) + "-" + date.toLocaleDateString( "en-US" , { year: 'numeric' }) );

Hi Rishab Rish, I agree with Aashima Khatoon & Rajanikant Hawaldar. However, you may also consider the sample code below. function formatDate(date = new Date(), localString = "en-US" ){ let currentLocal = localString, currentDate = date; const options = { day: '2-digit' , month: 'short' , year: 'numeric' }; return currentDate.toLocaleDateString(currentLocal, options ).replace(/ /g, '-' ); } console.log(formatDate(undefined, "en-GB" )); Cheers, Jin

Hi Rishab Rish, I'm solved your problem, please try this code: > html > head > meta charset = "utf-8" /> title > title > script type = "text/javascript" > function myfunction() { const monthNames = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "June", "July", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec" ]; var today = new Date(); var dd = today .getDate(); var mm = monthNames [today.getMonth()]; var yyyy = today .getFullYear(); today = dd +'-'+mm+'-'+yyyy; alert(today); } script > head > body > input type = "button" onclick = "myfunction()" value = "Show Date" > body > html >

var monthname= ["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"]; var today = new Date(); var dd = today.getDate(); var mm = today.getMonth(); var yyyy = today.getFullYear(); if (dd dd = '0' + dd; } var today = dd + '-' + monthname[mm] + '-' + yyyy; today will give the desired output.
