How to convert dd/mm/yyyy string into JavaScript Date object?

MM/DD/YYYY format

If you have the MM/DD/YYYY format which is default for JavaScript, you can simply pass your string to Date(string) constructor. It will parse it for you.

var dateString = "10/23/2015"; // Oct 23

var dateObject = new Date(dateString);

document.body.innerHTML = dateObject.toString();

DD/MM/YYYY format - manually

If you work with this format, then you can split the date in order to get day, month and year separately and then use it in another constructor - Date(year, month, day):

var dateString = "23/10/2015"; // Oct 23

var dateParts = dateString.split("/");

// month is 0-based, that's why we need dataParts[1] - 1
var dateObject = new Date(+dateParts[2], dateParts[1] - 1, +dateParts[0]); 

document.body.innerHTML = dateObject.toString();

For more information, you can read article about Date at Mozilla Developer Network.

DD/MM/YYYY - using moment.js library

Alternatively, you can use moment.js library, which is probably the most popular library to parse and operate with date and time in JavaScript:

var dateString = "23/10/2015"; // Oct 23

var dateMomentObject = moment(dateString, "DD/MM/YYYY"); // 1st argument - string, 2nd argument - format
var dateObject = dateMomentObject.toDate(); // convert moment.js object to Date object

document.body.innerHTML = dateObject.toString();

<script src="https://momentjs.com/downloads/moment.min.js"></script>

In all three examples dateObject variable contains an object of type Date, which represents a moment in time and can be further converted to any string format.

You can use toLocaleString(). This is a javascript method.

var event = new Date("01/02/1993");

var options = { weekday: 'long', year: 'numeric', month: 'long', day: 'numeric' };

console.log(event.toLocaleString('en', options));

// expected output: "Saturday, January 2, 1993"

Almost all formats supported. Have look on this link for more details.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toLocaleString

var date = new Date("enter your  date");//2018-01-17 14:58:29.013

Just one line is enough no need to do any kind of split, join, etc.:

$scope.ssdate=date.toLocaleDateString();//  mm/dd/yyyy format
