Javascript - Remove Seconds and GMT from date format

var date = new Date();

it displays "Sun Jul 16 2017 00:05:50 GMT+0800 (SGT)"

But, I need only "Month date, year hour:minutes am". Please let me know to remove unwanted datas and display them.

Thanks

You can modify this function according to your needs:

 function formatJSDate()
    {
     return (dt.getMonth() +1 + '/' + dt.getDate() + '/' + dt.getYear() + ' ' + dt.toLocaleString('en-US', { hour: 'numeric',minute:'numeric', hour12: true }));
    }

Now you can try this:

 var dt = new Date('Sun Jul 16 2017 00:05:50 GMT+0800 (SGT)'); 
//or  var dt= new Date();
    alert(formatJSDate(dt));

OUTPUT:

7/15/117 9:05 AM

If you split the string, you can use the arrays splice fn to remove everything from 4 chars before 'GMT' on. Then just join back to a string:

var dateArray = date.split('');
dateArray.splice(date.indexOf('GMT') - 4);
var shorter = dateArray.join('');

I suggest you to use Moment.js for everything concerning dates...
;)

var date = moment().format("MMMM D, YYYY hh:mm A")

console.log(date);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.18.1/moment.min.js"></script>
