Javascript: How to convert given date into readable format

Question

I have date in ISO-format like:

2016-02-17T16:40:30

How can I convert it to a human-readable date, for example:

17 Feb 2016 16:40

First of all, you need to create a date using your original date string.

var d = new Date('2016-02-17T16:40:30');

And then you can use this to fetch a readable date format:

d.toDateString();

Will return:

Wed Feb 17 2016

You can use `d.toUTCString()` instead, or a combination of functions like `d.getUTCHours()` and `d.getUTCMinutes()` to construct your own string. – Maccath Feb 23 '16 at 12:51
