Answer 1

You are not using correct format string, use MMM instead of MMMM see Docs

console.log(moment().format('DD/MMM'))

Answer 2

As an addendum to Satpal's answer, a simpler (kind of faster/safer approach) would be to go with the Localized formats because preferred formatting differs based on locale.

moment().format('ll') - Sep 4, 1986

Where as

moment().format('LL') - September 4, 1986

Optionally to include time:

moment().format('lll') - Sep 4, 1986 8:30 PM

Where as

moment().format('LLL') - September 4, 1986 8:30 PM

Answer 3

use below month formats to get required output :

console.log(`Month Number : moment().format('M') ==> `,moment().format('M'))

console.log(`Month Number : moment().format('Mo') ==> `,moment().format('Mo'))

console.log(`Month Number : moment().format('MM') ==> `,moment().format('MM'))

console.log(`3 Letter Month Name : moment().format('MMM') ==> `,moment().format('MMM'))

console.log(`Full Month Name : moment().format('MMMM') ==> `,moment().format('MMMM'))
