JS: Converting PHP time to a JS Date

Question

My backend is sending me a time like this:

$date = Carbon::now()->format('m-d-Y H:i:s')

the value of $date is a string like "01-21-2021 15:25:06"

Can I use that to create a Date object in Javascript?

Not directly, a simple format change is all that is required:

const dateString = "01-21-2021 15:25:06";

console.log(new Date(dateString.replace('-','/')).toLocaleString());
