Change date format in JavaScript?

Question

In JavaScript:

var todayDate = new Date();

How to convert the actual date to this format (example):

Mon Aug 25 2014 

Answer 1

toDateString() gives you exactly that format.

var todayDate = new Date();
todayDate.toDateString(); // "Thu Aug 14 2014"

Answer 2

You can use plugins like Moment.js or you can just ...todayDate.getDay() + ' ' + todayDate.getFullYear()
