Moment date format always returning 01/01/1970 instead of actual date in angular application

Question

Please find attachment. The actual date is 03/06/2019 but the returning formate is always 01/01/1970. How can I resolve this issue?

apiData.map(res => {
const startDate = moment(res.Issue_Date).format('DD/MMM/YYYY');
const endDate = moment(res. Expire_Date).format('DD/MMM/YYYY');});

Note: I am getting the date from API call like this (Issue_Date: 20190603)

Code updated. I am getting date format from API like this (Issue_Date: 20190603) — imjayabal, Aug 12 '19 at 12:20

You need to convert the Issue_Date to the String type. You are passing in the number which is considered as Unix timestamp and therefore that's why you are getting the Jan 01 1970, 11:06:30 (20190603 milliseconds passed from Jan 01 1970, 00:00:00).

moment(res.Issue_Date.toString()); // or moment(`${res.Issue_Date}`);

try the following

apiData.map(res => {
const startDate = moment(res.Issue_Date,'YYYY-MM-DD').format('DD/MMM/YYYY');
const endDate = moment(res. Expire_Date,'YYYY-MM-DD').format('DD/MMM/YYYY');});

Ok, the problem is your issue date is getting passed as number format, so moment is calculating in milliseconds. Try this -

let temp = res.Issue_Date.toString();
const startDate = moment(temp ).format('DD/MMM/YYYY');
console.log(startDate)
