How to convert string to Date in Angular2 \ Typescript? [duplicate]

Question

I want to create a new Date object, with a specific date. I thought of converting it from a specific string, for example:

let dateString = '1968-11-16T00:00:00'

How can I convert it to a date object in typescript?

Update:

I'm asking for a solution in Typescript and not in Javascript, and in Angular2, not AngularJS (1.x)

You can use date filter to convert in date and display in specific format.

In .ts file (typescript):

// variables used in html
let dateString = '1968-11-16T00:00:00' 
let newDate = new Date(dateString);

// format date in typescript
getFormatedDate(date: Date, format: string) {
    const datePipe = new DatePipe('en-US');
    return datePipe.transform(date, format);
}

// Convert date to user timezone
const localDate: Date = this.convertToLocalDate('01/01/2021');

convertToLocalDate(responseDate: any) {
    try {
        if (responseDate != null) {
            if (typeof (responseDate) === 'string') {
                if (String(responseDate.indexOf('T') >= 0)) {
                    responseDate = responseDate.split('T')[0];
                }
                if (String(responseDate.indexOf('+') >= 0)) {
                    responseDate = responseDate.split('+')[0];
                }
            }

            responseDate = new Date(responseDate);
            const newDate = new Date(responseDate.getFullYear(), responseDate.getMonth(), responseDate.getDate(), 0, 0, 0);
            const userTimezoneOffset = newDate.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000;

            const finalDate: Date = new Date(newDate.getTime() - userTimezoneOffset);
            return finalDate > Util.minDateValue ? finalDate : null;
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    } catch (error) {
        return responseDate;
    }
}

In HTML:

{{dateString |  date:'MM/dd/yyyy'}}

Below are some formats which you can implement :

Backend:

public todayDate = new Date();

HTML :

<select>
<option value=""></option>
<option value="MM/dd/yyyy">[{{todayDate | date:'MM/dd/yyyy'}}]</option>
<option value="EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy">[{{todayDate | date:'EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy'}}]</option>
<option value="EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm a">[{{todayDate | date:'EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm a'}}]</option>
<option value="EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm:ss a">[{{todayDate | date:'EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm:ss a'}}]</option>
<option value="MM/dd/yyyy h:mm a">[{{todayDate | date:'MM/dd/yyyy h:mm a'}}]</option>
<option value="MM/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a">[{{todayDate | date:'MM/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a'}}]</option>
<option value="MMMM d">[{{todayDate | date:'MMMM d'}}]</option>   
<option value="yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss">[{{todayDate | date:'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss'}}]</option>
<option value="h:mm a">[{{todayDate | date:'h:mm a'}}]</option>
<option value="h:mm:ss a">[{{todayDate | date:'h:mm:ss a'}}]</option>      
<option value="EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy hh:mm:ss a">[{{todayDate | date:'EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy hh:mm:ss a'}}]</option>
<option value="MMMM yyyy">[{{todayDate | date:'MMMM yyyy'}}]</option> 
</select>
