How can I format a date coming from MongoDB

0 votes

I'm using Jade to render my views from within Express.js. I am saving documents in MongoDB and using Mongoose to access my documents. I am saving a default date created when a new document is created and I am returning that date created attribute to the view, where is needs to be formatted. The format of the date being stored within MongoDB is:

sun nov 29 2020 20:14:56 GMT-0600 (CST)

How do I format this date in Jade (or Mongoose or Node.JS) coming back from MongoDB?

Hello @kartik,

JavaScript has built-in support for dates. First, to get your string into a Date object:

date =  new Date('sun nov 29 2020 20:14:56 GMT-0600 (CST)')

Now you can use various methods on the date to get the data you need:

date.toDateString() // "sun nov 29 2020 "
date.toUTCString()  // "sun nov 29 2020 20:14:56 GMT-0600 (CST)"
date.getMonth()     // 11
date.getDate()      // 29
date.getFullYear()  // 2020


Hope this helps!!
