How to convert date from mongodb to JavaScript or jQuery?

I have a mongodb set up and I'm storing date and time alongside other data. The problem is that when I receive the data back the date and time is in a strange format and I'm not sure how I can handle this with JavaScript or jQuery.

my schema:

var carSchema = mongoose.Schema ({

    carType: String,

    notes: String,

    created: {type: Date, default: Date.now}

});

this is what I'm getting in the JavaScript object:

created: 2015-03-15T14:01:16.447Z

How can I convert this to Time and date?

Can anyone help please?

Here i am giving some snippet of codes which will assist to getting your requirement.

var created_date = new Date(carSchema.created);



var months = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'];

var year = created_date.getFullYear();

var month = months[created_date.getMonth()];

var date = created_date.getDate();

var hour = created_date.getHours();

var min = created_date.getMinutes();

var sec = created_date.getSeconds();

var time = date + ',' + month + ' ' + year + ' ' + hour + ':' + min + ':' + sec ;    // final date with time, you can use this according your requirement







Or



var timestamp = created_date.getTime();    // get time stamp, now you can convert date and time from it using simple JavaScript function

You can use time() npm to reset timezone for this

var time = require('time');



created_date.setTimezone(Australia/Sydney);

Thanks
