Format Date time in Angular JS

Your code should work as you have it see this fiddle.

You'll have to make sure your v.Dt is a proper Date object for it to work though.

{{dt | date:'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z'}}

or if dateFormat is defined in scope as dateFormat = 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z':

{{dt | date:dateFormat }}

v.Dt is likely not a Date() object.

See http://jsfiddle.net/southerd/xG2t8/

but in your controller:

scope.v.Dt = Date.parse(scope.v.Dt);

I know this is an old item, but thought I'd throw in another option to consider.

As the original string doesn't include the "T" demarker, the default implementation in Angular doesn't recognize it as a date. You can force it using new Date, but that is a bit of a pain on an array. Since you can pipe filters together, you might be able to use a filter to convert your input to a date and then apply the date: filter on the converted date. Create a new custom filter as follows:

app
.filter("asDate", function () {
    return function (input) {
        return new Date(input);
    }
});

Then in your markup, you can pipe the filters together:

{{item.myDateTimeString | asDate | date:'shortDate'}}

you can get the 'date' filter like this:

var today = $filter('date')(new Date(),'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z');

This will give you today's date in format you want.

I made a filter that will take a date string OR javascript Date() object. It uses Moment.js and can apply any Moment.js transform function, such as the popular 'fromNow'

{{ anyDateObjectOrString | moment: 'format': 'MMM DD, YYYY' }}

would display Nov 11, 2014

{{ anyDateObjectOrString | moment: 'fromNow' }}

would display 10 minutes ago

If you need to call multiple moment functions, you can chain them. This converts to UTC and then formats...

{{ someDate | moment: 'utc' | moment: 'format': 'MMM DD, YYYY' }}

Have you seen the Writing directives (short version) section of the documentation?

HTML

<div ng-controller="Ctrl2">
      Date format: <input ng-model="format"> <hr/>
      Current time is: <span my-current-time="format"></span>
</div> 

JS

function Ctrl2($scope) {
  $scope.format = 'M/d/yy h:mm:ss a';
}

Here are a few popular examples:

<div>{{myDate | date:'M/d/yyyy'}}</div> 7/4/2014

<div>{{myDate | date:'yyyy-MM-dd'}}</div> 2014-07-04

<div>{{myDate | date:'M/d/yyyy HH:mm:ss'}}</div> 7/4/2014 12:01:59

You can use momentjs to implement date-time filter in angularjs. For example:

angular.module('myApp')
 .filter('formatDateTime', function ($filter) {
    return function (date, format) {
        if (date) {
            return moment(Number(date)).format(format || "DD/MM/YYYY h:mm A");
        }
        else
            return "";
    };
});

Where date is in time stamp format.

Inside a controller the format can be filtered by injecting $filter.

var date = $filter('date')(new Date(),'MMM dd, yyyy');
