Answer 1

In controller you can do

$filter('date')(date, format, timezone)

to change the date format. And in html,

{{ date_expression | date : format : timezone}}

use this.

Like

$scope.formattedDate =   $filter('date')($scope.currDate, "dd-MM-yyyy");

to print same on html

{{ currDate | date : "dd-MM-yyyy"}}

https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/filter/date Following formats are supported by angular.

Answer 2

You can do this either in controller or in html page.

$scope.date = new Date();
The first one is :
$scope.date =   $filter('date')($scope.date, 'dd-MM-yyyy');

Second one is : 
{{date | date:'dd-MM-yyyy'}}
