How to convert an ISO date to the date format yyyy-mm-dd?

Question

Just crop the string:

var date = new Date("2013-03-10T02:00:00Z");
date.toISOString().substring(0, 10);

Or if you need only date out of string.

var strDate = "2013-03-10T02:00:00Z";
strDate.substring(0, 10);

Try this

date = new Date('2013-03-10T02:00:00Z');
date.getFullYear()+'-' + (date.getMonth()+1) + '-'+date.getDate();//prints expected format.

Update:-

As pointed out in comments, I am updating the answer to print leading zeros for date and month if needed.

date = new Date('2013-08-03T02:00:00Z');
year = date.getFullYear();
month = date.getMonth()+1;
dt = date.getDate();

if (dt < 10) {
  dt = '0' + dt;
}
if (month < 10) {
  month = '0' + month;
}

console.log(year+'-' + month + '-'+dt);

You could checkout Moment.js, Luxon, date-fns or Day.js for nice date manipulation.

Or just extract the first part of your ISO string, it already contains what you want. Here is an example by splitting on the T:

"2013-03-10T02:00:00Z".split("T")[0] // "2013-03-10"

And another example by extracting the 10 first characters:

"2013-03-10T02:00:00Z".substr(0, 10) // "2013-03-10"

This is what I do to get date only:

let isoDate = "2013-03-10T02:00:00Z";

alert(isoDate.split("T")[0]);

let isoDate = "2013-03-10T02:00:00Z";
var d = new Date(isoDate);
d.toLocaleDateString('en-GB'); // dd/mm/yyyy
d.toLocaleDateString('en-US'); // mm/dd/yyyy

Moment.js will handle date formatting for you. Here is how to include it via a JavaScript tag, and then an example of how to use Moment.js to format a date.

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.14.1/moment.min.js"></script>

moment("2013-03-10T02:00:00Z").format("YYYY-MM-DD") // "2013-03-10"
