I haven't found the way to format YYYY/MM/DD as you asked but I have the 2-digit format.

const today = Date.now();
console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', {year: 'numeric', month: '2-digit',day: '2-digit', hour: '2-digit', minute: '2-digit', second: '2-digit'}).format(today));

Use date-fns library

for "2018/02/01 14:16:00" this format use the following code

import { format } from 'date-fns';
console.log(format(new Date(), 'yyyy/MM/dd kk:mm:ss'))

with this you can customize your own format.

I found the easiest solution for the React.js developer.

In my schema(In the backend) date format was like this.

createdAt: { type: Date, default: Date.now()
} 

It will give me output as 2019-04-30T08:59:00.000Z which is (YYYY-MM-DD'T'HH:MM:SS.SSSZ) format. To change the date format in Frontend you can easily solve the problem using

1. npm install dateformat
2. import dateFormat from 'dateformat';
3. dateFormat("2019-04-30T08:59:00.000Z", "mmmm dS, yyyy") to get April 30th, 2019
or dateFormat("2019-04-30T08:59:00.000Z", "dddd, mmmm dS, yyyy") to get Tuesday, April 30th, 2019.

Just use moment and define the format as below

moment(yourDate).format("YYYY/MM/DD kk:mm:ss");

You can use dateformat lib () , it has so many options that can help you , and it's easy to use , you can use it in front-end or back-end , it worked fine for me here an example :

dateFormat(expirationdate, "yyyy-mm-dd")
 i did. var dateVal ="/Date("+newDate+")/"; var date = new Date(parseFloat(dateVal.substr(6))); const YYYY = date.getFullYear(); let DD = date.getMonth()+1; let MM = date.getDate(); let HH = date.getHours() ; let mm = date.getMinutes() let ss = date.getSeconds(); if(DD<10) { DD=`0${DD}`; } if(MM<10) { MM=`0${MM}`; } if(HH<10) { HH=`0${HH}`; } if(mm<10) { mm=`0${mm}`; } if(ss<10) { ss=`0${ss}`; } const ltime= (YYYY+DD+MM+HH+mm+ss);

Moment JS provide control on each date string and you can easily convert into another format easily.

Install Moment Package:

npm install --save moment

Convert date format using moment:

import Moment from 'moment';
class App extends Component { constructor() { this.state = { dateDMY: Moment("1994-07-01").format('DD-MM-YYYY'), dateMDY: Moment("1994-07-01").format('MM-DD-YYYY'), dateYMD: Moment("01-07-1994").format('YYYY-MM-DD') } } render() { return ( <div> <p> DMY Format: { this.state.dateDMY } </p> <p> MDY Format: { this.state.dateMDY } </p> <p> YMD Format: { this.state.dateYMD } </p> </div> ); }
}
render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

Output:

DMY Format: 01-07-1994
MDY Format: 07-01-1994
YMD Format: 1994-01-07

Since moment is no longer maintained, you can now use dayjs:

dayjs("2019-04-30T08:59:00.000Z").format("YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss")

I used below logic, It may help you.

{new Date(your date).toLocaleString("lookup")}
