Date string from POST API response to different format

Question

Hi everyone! I have an array from an api response and it gives me the <startdate></startdate> as a string in the iso format. That’s fine, but I want to convert it to something simple like mm-dd-yyyy. Can anyone suggest how I can use typescript to reformat the response into a different output?

Answer 1

use date=new Date(iso_date) and your can format with Date object

moment(new Date(api_date)). format('MM-DD-YYYY')
