You can use moment.js to perform any date related operation. You can checkout more detail about the moment from here.

Before converting any date which is in string, we need to convert into a date object. After that we can convert it into any formate.

let momentObj = moment('2016-05-12', 'YYYY-MM-DD')
let showDate = moment(momentObj).format('MMM DD, YYYY')

usage:

import moment from 'moment';

moment('2016-05-12').format('MMM DD, YYYY');
