formatMyDate(value){
     if (value) {
       return value;

Answer 1

Strapi are providing a date in ISO 8601 format, which is easy to parse using the JavaScript date object.

I'd suggest using Date.toLocaleDateString() to format the input date as DD/MM/YYYY. Using a locale of 'en-GB' will format the supplied date in this way.

You can pass other locales such as 'de-DE' to format the date in another way if you wish.

function formatMyDate(value, locale = 'en-GB') {
    return new Date(value).toLocaleDateString(locale);
}

const timestamp = '2021-09-01T15:21:39.862Z';
console.log('Timestamp:', timestamp);
console.log('Formatted date:', formatMyDate(timestamp));
