Jquery - Return only the format dd/MM/YY HH:mm ,instead of returning time zone values, month name and etc

Question

When using this method, my time is returning, the values with month name, time zone and so on.

It's returning as follows: newDate = Mon Sep 02 2019 12:00:00 GMT-0300 (Brasilia Standard Time)

How would I return the format dd / MM / YYYY - hh / MM

sistema.conversao = {
    converterParaDate: function (dataPtbr) {

        //data virá em formato pt-br dd/mm/aaaa hh:mm         
        var arrDataHora = dataPtbr.split(" "); //separar a data dos minutos
        var data = arrDataHora[0];
        var arrHora = [];
        if (arrDataHora.length > 1)
            arrHora = arrDataHora[1].split(":");

        var dia, mes, ano;

        var arrData = data.split("/");
        day= parseInt(arrData[0]);
        mouth= parseInt(arrData[1]) - 1;
        year= parseInt(arrData[2]);


        var hour= 0, minute= 0, second= 0;
        if (arrHora && arrHora.length > 0) {
            hora = arrHora[0];
            minuto = arrHora[1]
        }


        var newDate = new Date(year, mouth, day, hour, minute, second)
        return newDate;

    }

}

You need to separate every part of the Date object you just created and then rearrange it in any way you need it.

var day = newDate.getDate();
var month = newDate.getMonth();
var year = newDate.getFullYear();
var hours = newDate.getHours();
var minutes = newDate.getMinutes();
var formatDate = day + "/" + month + "/" + year + " - " + hours + "/" + minutes;

return formatDate;

NOTE: Don't forget you already have some of these, so there's no need to write extra code for those. :) – Mauricio Cárdenas Oct 15 '19 at 15:23
Please don't reference w3schools, MDN is a better reference as it's a community wikki that is well supported and maintained. – RobG Oct 16 '19 at 07:57
I think you mean `... year + " " + hours + ":" + minutes` and they need to be padded to two digits, and the year should be two digits too. – RobG Oct 16 '19 at 08:03
@RobG Not to be disrespectful, but that's just nonsense. Both references are good enough for this situation. Also, no, I didn't mean that format, OP specifically requested "dd / MM / YYYY - hh / MM". That's why I put it that way :) – Mauricio Cárdenas Oct 16 '19 at 14:07
Now, if OP actually wanted the format you're saying, yeah, I agree. Still, I don't judge his needs, I'm giving him what he's asking for. I'm quite sure OP's smart enough to change the characters to whatever they need. – Mauricio Cárdenas Oct 16 '19 at 14:09
And the title wants "dd/MM/YY HH:mm". – RobG Oct 16 '19 at 21:35

Another option would be to use the native JS method toLocaleDateString() to do the formatting. It's easy to change the options to produce different date formatting requirements.

var date = new Date();
var options = {
    day: 'numeric',
    month: 'numeric',
    year: 'numeric',
    hour: 'numeric',
    minute: 'numeric',
    hour12: false
};
var newDate = date.toLocaleDateString('en-US', options).replace(', ', ' - ').replace(':', '/');
console.log(newDate);

That doesn't produce the format the OP wants (it returns something like "10/16/2019, 6:00 PM" whereas the OP wants 16/10/19 18:00). *toLocaleString* is pretty limited in regard to formatting, you essentially have to poke around for a language tag that produces a similar result then munge it from there. It's generally simpler and more reliable to get the parts and arrange them as required. – RobG Oct 16 '19 at 07:59
@RobG, my intent was to simply provide another option. Why not use a feature that is native to JavaScript? However, I've updated my answer so that OP's format is produced. – Mark Hillard Oct 18 '19 at 15:36
My previous comment was deleted by someone, so I'm adding it back... Thanks for the downvote. – Mark Hillard Oct 23 '19 at 17:03

Not my downvote, I rarely downvote answers. All you need to do is change the value for day, month, hour and minute to "2-digit" and it's OK, though I think the caveat regarding the general usefulness of *toLocaleString* would also be nice (hence the comment). It's OK if the formatting requirements fit the limited options of *toLocaleString*, but go outside that and you'll find a small formatting library (there are plenty of good ones to choose from) is much more helpful and easier to use. – RobG Oct 24 '19 at 00:30
E.g. in [Fecha.js](https://github.com/taylorhakes/fecha) it's `fecha.format(new Date(), 'DD / MM / YYYY - hh / mm')`. – RobG Oct 24 '19 at 00:38
