Answer 1

It can be done by using following code:

let today = new Date();

let date=today.getDate() + "-"+ parseInt(today.getMonth()+1) +"-"+today.getFullYear();

console.log(date)

Answer 2

The moment library is awesome for all action/formatting that you want to do on date.

Have a look: https://momentjs.com/

You should do something like this:

import * as moment from 'moment'

const yourDate = new Date()
const NewDate = moment(yourDate, 'DD-MM-YYYY')
