how to format date in Component of angular 5

There is equally formatDate

const format="dd/MM/yyyy";
const myDate="2019-06-29";
const locale="en-US";
const formattedDate = formatDate(myDate, format, locale);

According to the API it takes as param either a date string, a Date object, or a timestamp.

Gotcha: Out of the box, only en-US is supported.

If you need to add another locale, you need to add it and register it in you app.module, for example for Spanish:

import { registerLocaleData } from '@angular/common';
import localeES from "@angular/common/locales/es";
registerLocaleData(localeES, "es");

Don’t forget to add corresponding import:

import { formatDate } from "@angular/common";
