Get current date in DD-Mon-YYY format in JavaScript/Jquery

by

There is no native format in javascript for DD-Mon-YYYY.

You will have to put it all together manually.

The answer is inspired from :
How to format a JavaScript date

// Attaching a new function  toShortFormat()  to any instance of Date() class

Date.prototype.toShortFormat = function() {

    let monthNames =["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr",
                      "May","Jun","Jul","Aug",
                      "Sep", "Oct","Nov","Dec"];
    
    let day = this.getDate();
    
    let monthIndex = this.getMonth();
    let monthName = monthNames[monthIndex];
    
    let year = this.getFullYear();
    
    return `${day}-${monthName}-${year}`;  
}

// Now any Date object can be declared 
let anyDate = new Date(1528578000000);

// and it can represent itself in the custom format defined above.
console.log(anyDate.toShortFormat());    // 10-Jun-2018

let today = new Date();
console.log(today.toShortFormat());     // today's date
