There is a simple way to write a function in Javascript to format the date as dd mmm yyyy. I’m using this method in my ReactJS code to simply format the date and set the state with the returned string wherever required.

formatDate(date) {
    if (date !== undefined && date !== "") {
      var myDate = new Date(date);
      var month = [
        "Jan",
        "Feb",
        "Mar",
        "Apr",
        "May",
        "Jun",
        "Jul",
        "Aug",
        "Sep",
        "Oct",
        "Nov",
        "Dec",
      ][myDate.getMonth()];
      var str = myDate.getDate() + " " + month + " " + myDate.getFullYear();
      return str;
    }
    return "";
  }

You can call this method from your JS code like this:

formatDate(new Date());
