Convert a string from laravel controller to javascript

Question

I would like to convert a string value that I fetch from my database and convert it to a date variable in the view using javascript

I have tried out the following code;

var date = moment({!! $cheque->cheque_date !!}).format('YYYY-MM-DD');

I am getting the following result when I console log the date variable. 1970-01-01

@Ali the value is 2019-04-10. However, when I try to console log it I get a NaN error — gerry

You need javascript quotes around that php string output and probably a format argument for moment(string, format) — charlietfl

var date = moment('{!! $cheque->cheque_date !!}').format('YYYY-MM-DD'); — Harun Yilmaz

you need to add " quotations

checkout this

var date = moment("{{ $cheque->cheque_date }}").format('YYYY-MM-DD');

this will converted to

var date = moment("2019-04-10").format('YYYY-MM-DD');

while your code will be converted to

var date = moment(2019-04-10).format('YYYY-MM-DD'); // no quotations
