How can the Express framework implement date formatting?

In the Express framework, you can utilize the Moment.js library for date formatting.

Firstly, it is necessary to install the Moment.js library. You can install it using the following command:

npm install moment

After the installation is complete, Moment.js can be introduced in the necessary places for date formatting in the following way:

const moment = require('moment');

Next, you can use the format method provided by Moment.js to format the date. For example, to format the current date as “YYYY-MM-DD”:

const formattedDate = moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD');
console.log(formattedDate);

The output will be in the formatted form of the current date, such as “2022-01-01”.

In addition to the “YYYY-MM-DD” format, Moment.js also offers many other formatting options that can be adjusted according to actual needs. Specific formatting options can be found in the official Moment.js documentation.
