DatetimeMomentjsDatetime Problem Overview
I have a string in this format:
var dateTime = "06-17-2015 14:24:36"
I am using moment.js and I am trying to convert it into YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss -> 2015-06-17 14:24:36.
I have tried this method

Solution 2 - Datetime
Use different format or pattern to get the information from the date
var myDate = new Date("2015-06-17 14:24:36");
console.log(moment(myDate).format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss"));
console.log("Date: "+moment(myDate).format("YYYY-MM-DD"));
console.log("Year: "+moment(myDate).format("YYYY"));
console.log("Month: "+moment(myDate).format("MM"));
console.log("Month: "+moment(myDate).format("MMMM"));
console.log("Day: "+moment(myDate).format("DD"));
console.log("Day: "+moment(myDate).format("dddd"));
console.log("Time: "+moment(myDate).format("HH:mm")); // Time in24 hour format
console.log("Time: "+moment(myDate).format("hh:mm A"));
