Javascript, convert date to different format

I have this date 2015/08/06 06:00 and i want to convert it to 6th August 2015 at 6am. I know how to do this in php but having trouble with jquery.

var monthNames = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
  "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
];
    var d = new Date('2015/08/06 06:00');
    var d_formatted = d.getDate() + '/' +  monthNames[d.getMonth()] '/' + d.getFullYear();

How do i get the date suffix and the time?

  hours = arg.getHours();
  if(arg.getHours() >12)
  {
    hours = (arg.getHours() %12)+ ' PM'

With Date object, there are couple of methods to retrieve time:-

  • getHours() and getUTCHours()
  • getMinutes() and getUTCMinutes()
  • getSeconds() and getUTCSeconds()
  • getMilliseconds() and getUTCMilliseconds()

Using pure javascript:

var d = new Date();
var n = d.toString();

The result of n will be:

Thu Aug 06 2015 12:52:33 GMT-0300 (BRT)

I prefer to use moment.js to do this

$(function () {
  $('.date').each(function (index, dateElem) {
    var $dateElem = $(dateElem);
    var formatted = moment($dateElem.text(), 'MM-DD-YYYY').format('MMMM D');
    $dateElem.text(formatted);
   })
 });​
