Parsing Django DateTimeField in Javascript

Question

I built my backend API with the Django rest framework in which the model has a DateTimeField.

date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

When I get the data from the API to React I get something like this

2019-01-20T19:24:58.674435Z

How can I parse this in javascript and convert it to a readable form?

You can find documentation here. More details, depending on what you want to extract and how you want to output, use standard Date functions — Ulanbek

It's possible to do it through your serializer. Given that you name it ''date'' in your model, you can do the following.

class ObjectSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    date = serializers.DateTimeField(format="%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S")

    class Meta:
        model = Object
        fields='__all__'
