CODE EXAMPLE FOR JAVASCRIPT

Format JavaScript Date

// Custom function to format date in following format
// dd-mm-yyyy
// dd/mm/yyyy
// dd.mm.yyyy
function dateFormater(date, separator) {
  var day = date.getDate();
  // add +1 to month because getMonth() returns month from 0 to 11
  var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
  var year = date.getFullYear();

  // show date and month in two digits
  // if month is less than 10, add a 0 before it
  if (day < 10) {
    day = '0' + day;
  }
  if (month < 10) {
    month = '0' + month;
  }

  // now we have day, month and year
  // use the separator to join them
  return day + separator + month + separator + year;
}

var now = new Date();
console.log(dateFormater(now, '/'));
console.log(dateFormater(now, '-'));
console.log(dateFormater(now, '.'));
