Converting datetime to dd/mm/yy h:m

Question

I am trying to convert the below date and time to dd/mm/yy H:M using javascript.

February 24th 2021, 15:21:46

to

24/02/2021 15:21

I was trying -

moment('February 24th 2021, 15:21:46').format('DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm')

I am getting an invalid date.

Any help is highly appreciated.

The error isn't coming from formatting, it's coming from parsing the original date. — Barmar, May 11 '21 at 18:53
From [the documentation](https://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/), it looks like you should be using `moment('February 24th 2021, 15:21:46', 'MMMM Do YYYY, HH:mm:ss')`. — Andrew Morton, May 11 '21 at 18:58

As @Barmer said in their comment, it's not the formatting that is throwing the error.

You should tell moment what format the input is so it can be parsed.

const formattedDate = moment('February 24th 2021, 15:21:46', 'MMMM Do YYYY, HH:mm:ss')
  .format('DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm');
  
console.log(formattedDate);

Thank you. It works. I missed the second parameter. – Prithviraj Mitra May 11 '21 at 19:01 — Prithviraj Mitra, May 11 '21 at 19:01
