Convert the timestamp into ("MMM DD, HH:mm") format. JS [duplicate]

Question

I have a date returned as a timestamp from the the server response and I want to convert it to ("MMM DD, HH:mm") format using the toUTCString(). so far I have this:

date = new Date(1555649122787).toUTCString()

o/p: "Mon, 22 Apr 2019 23:00:32 GMT", however I want the o/p in this format:

Apr 22, 23:00. Unfortunately for my project I'm unable to use moment.js as a library. any other better ways?

Answer 1

Try this:

function formatDate(date) {
    let months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];
    return `${months[date.getMonth()]} ${date.getDate()}, ${date.getHours()}:${date.getMinutes()}`;
}
date = new Date(1555649122787)
console.log(formatDate(date));

Answer 2

as Marco answering Intl.DateTimeFormat is the best way, but he forgot to mention that we can remove the elements of dates that we do not want

dateC = new Date(1555649122787);

B_Options = {
  month: 'short', day: 'numeric',
  hour: '2-digit', minute: '2-digit',
  hour12: false,
  timeZone: 'America/Los_Angeles' 
};

console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', B_Options).format(dateC) );
