Format existing date variable with moment.js

Question

I have a date variable (coming from an external source):

var date = '28/04/2017';
var time = '19:28';

It is possible to format these variables with moment.js (or without?) to variout formats?

Example: 04.28 19:28, 2017.04.28 19:28 or even Today at 19:28 (with moment().calendar();)

I tried

moment(date+' '+time).format('MM.DD.YYYY');

...but I am getting "Invalid date" error.

Answer 1

You're using moment(String) method, but you're not passing a Supported format that it expects to parse.

You should use moment(String, String), where the first String is the input date string, and second is the format of your input date String.

Try this:

moment(date+' '+time,'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm').format('MM.DD.YYYY');
