momentjs returns an object

I am trying to format date time string value using react-moment in my react component. moment returns an object but i need a string value from moment. This is the code I have:

import Moment from 'react-moment';

const dateToFormat = '2015-08-31T16:14:00.000Z';

const datetm = <Moment format="dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm a" date = {dateToFormat} />;

datetm always return object but I want it to be string. Does moment has any attribute that can be set to get string value instead an object?

You are using react-moment which is a wrapper component for the moment js. You can you use this as a react component. but not as normal use. Instead use moment js.

install the moment js package using npm.

> npm install --save moment

in your js file

> import moment from 'moment';

then use moment instance.

> moment(<date string>/<date object>/<moment object>).format(<format string>)
