To convert the string to Date in JavaScript you can use the Date Object. JavaScript supports the following Date formats that can be used to convert the string to date:

• mm-dd-yyyy
  
  
• yyyy/mm/dd
  
  
• mm/dd/yyyy
  
  
• mmm dd, yyyy
  
  
• mm dd, yyyy

Following examples show the conversion of string to date using JavaScript Date Object:

Variable with Date Format as mm-dd-yyyy:

var dateString = "03-20-2008";  // mm-dd-yyyy

Variable with Date Format as yyyy/mm/dd:

var dateString = "2008/03/20";  // yyyy/mm/dd

Variable with Date Format as mm/dd/yyyy:

var dateString = "03/20/2008";  // mm/dd/yyyy

Variable with Date Format as mmm dd, yyyy:

var dateString = "March 20, 2008";  // mmm dd, yyyy

Variable with Date Format as mm dd, yyyy:

var dateString = "Mar 20, 2008";  // mm dd, yyyy

You can use any of the above date string formats that can be passed to the javascript Date Object:

var myDate = new Date(dateString);

document.write("Date :" + myDate.getDate());

document.write("<br>");

document.write("Month : " + myDate.getMonth());

document.write("<br>");

document.write("Year : " + myDate.getFullYear());

Above Example will display that output:

Date :20
Month : 2
Year : 2008
