• javascript
• angularjs
• date
• momentjs

• Btw jan is MMM format, not MMMM (which gives January) – Aaron Commented Feb 10, 2016 at 10:51
• ya thanks but its a typo mistake. – Priyank Commented Feb 10, 2016 at 10:56
• 1 If you don't tell moment.js the input format, it guesses. Clearly it gets it wrong here (probably by assuming m/d/y). – RobG Commented Feb 10, 2016 at 13:03

The problem is that momentjs is not understanding the input format, so pass the input format to momentjs(string, string)

var string = moment('18/01/2016', 'DD/MM/YYYY').format("DD MMM YYYY")
result.innerHTML = string;

<pre id="result"></pre>
