convert date object retrieved from json document to string jquery

Question

I have this json result in browser from aggregation I've done:

{
'reportDate': {
    $date: 1424044800000
}
},

I have it stored in mongo db like this: 'reportDate':ISODate("2014-11-17T00:00:00Z") how to convert it in format 'YYYY/mm/dd' using jquery

In pure JavaScript you can format it like that:

var d = new Date(1424044800000)

var string = (d.getYear() + 1900) + "/" + (d.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + d.getDay();

jQ does not have function that formats date, you would have to use a plugin for that. For example this one

If you are using jquery ui you can use

$.datepicker.formatDate('dd-mm-yy', dateString);

Thanks for your help, this javascript worked great beside dhe day it is showing only 1(first) day for every registred date

Thanks sir, I just used getDate instead of getDay and it retrieved me the right day...
