How do I set the correct date in jQuery?

Question

I try to get the correct date format, like this: 24-7-2015.

date = new Date("24-7-2015").toString({ dateFormat: 'd-M-yy' })

but the output of date is then: Wed Dec 7 00:00:00 UTC+0100 2016

Thank you

Answer 1

Please try with the below code snippet.

var date = new Date("24-7-2015") // If this is not worked than check your local system date format 

document.write(date.getDate() + "-" +  (date.getMonth() + 1) + "-" + date.getFullYear());

Let me know if any concern.

If you want to make it easely, like in your example try to use momentjs

moment('24-7-2015', 'D-M-YYYY').format('DD-MM-YY');
