Moment.js supports a general date format syntax that everyone commonly uses. However, it does not have support for Unix-style strftime which is found in generally many libraries except Javascript. The moment-strftime is a plugin for Moment.js that adds this strftime method to be used with all the other functions. 

This package can be installed by using the following command:

npm install moment-strftime

Parameters: This method takes date and time as input.

Return Value: This method returns the date and time in strftime format.

The below examples will demonstrate moment.strftime() method.

Example 1:

Javascript




const moment = require('moment-strftime');
 
// Using strftime function
let date = moment().strftime("%m/%d/%y %I:%M %p %Z");
console.log(date)


Output:

07/28/22 12:02 AM 

Example 2:

Javascript




const moment = require('moment-strftime');
 
// Using strftime function
let date = moment().strftime("%d/%m/%y %I:%M %p %Z");
