Please try this below code:

$scope.newString = $scope.date.replace(/\//g,"-");

var date = "09/29/2017"

You can use angular js filter to convert date object according to required format

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

More about filter please see this: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.filter:date

I know this a suitable answer but when i add this to my code it looks like nothing to display can you explain a little bit about this filter.

have you inject the filter dependency in your controller ?

You can split it based on '/' and join it back using '-'

var date = "09/29/2017"

var newString = date.split("/").join("-");
console.log(newString);
