What do you mean by "convert"? Why not simply check for the `T` and split on that? Are there any special cases? — Nico Haase, Apr 01 '19 at 12:37
Is your input just a string? A `Date` object? Something else? — David, Apr 01 '19 at 12:38
it shows 1993/12/2012 but in the database (mongodb) it became 1993-12-12T00:00:00.000Z — ImenElAbed, Apr 01 '19 at 12:40
@ImenElAbed: Your question makes no mention of a database nor shows any code which writes to or reads from a database. Please explain the actual problem. — David, Apr 01 '19 at 12:42

you can use Moment js for any type of Date conversation.

moment("1993-12-12T00:00:00.000Z").format('DD/MM/YYYY') = "12/12/1993"
or
moment("1993-12-12T00:00:00.000Z").format('YYYY-MM-DD') = "1993-12-12"

`convertDate=(date)=>{ let cvDate = moment(date).format('DD/MM/YYYY'); return cvDate}` or `convertDate=(date, format)=>{ let cvDate = moment(date).format(format); return cvDate}` – KARNAV PARGI Apr 01 '19 at 12:54

You could try something like this:

var date = new Date('1993-12-12T00:00:00.000Z');

var newdate = date.getFullYear() + '-' + (date.getMonth() + 1) + '-' + date.getDate()

alert(newdate)

You can do it through simple string manipulation.

    var str = '9999-12-31T00:00:00Z';
    var parts = str.slice(0, -1).split('T');
    var dateComponent = parts[0];
    var timeComponent = parts[1];
    console.log(dateComponent);
    console.log(timeComponent);
