How to convert today date numeric to string today's

Question

I would like to show today instead of not showing Date(23-07-2020) in numeric values. Is it possible?

Like this picture I need to show the date as today or yesterday

var today = new Date();
var date = String(today.getFullYear()+'-'+(today.getMonth()+1)+'-'+today.getDate());
var time = today.toLocaleTimeString([], {hour: '2-digit', minute:'2-digit'});
var dateTime = date+' '+time;
this.dateTimeValue = dateTime;

There are two approaches to achieve it:-

1. By using some library such as momentjs
2. Or by using the native methods and writing the logic for all calcualtios.

1st approach:-
