Format date using moment.js

Question

I'm using the moment.js library to format dates in the format MM DD, YYYY. What am I missing?

Code below:

import moment from 'moment';

var dateStr = '2015-10-19T13:33:52.140Z';

var d = new Date(dateStr); // Mon Oct 19 2015 13:33:52 GMT+0000 (GMT)

console.log( moment(d, "MM DD, YYYY").toDate() ) // Still outputs Mon Oct 19 2015 13:33:52 GMT+0000 (GMT)

There is no need tou use JavaScript Date to parse your string, just use moment(string) (because your input is in ISO 8001 format), then you have to use format():

var dateStr = '2015-10-19T13:33:52.140Z';
console.log( moment(dateStr).format("MM DD, YYYY"))

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.17.1/moment.min.js"></script>

Simply use the Format method

moment(dateStr).format("MM DD, YYYY");
