ReactJS Moment is not formatting date correctly
I have a function for displaying the first date of the week and it's result are displayed as followed:
Mon Nov 12 2018 08:14:09 GMT-0600 (Central Standard Time)
...what am attempting to do is display the result with the month only:
2018-11-12
...here is the function for getting the first day of the week:
let sd = new Date();
const startOfWeek = (date) => {
let diff = date.getDate() - date.getDay() + (date.getDay() === 0 ? -6 : 1);
return new Date(date.setDate(diff));
}
...I call the function as followed:
const startDay = startOfWeek(sd).toString();
...Here is where I Use moment to apply the formatting:
moment(startDay).format('YYYY MMMM Do');
...but my date still displays the following:
Mon Nov 12 2018 08:14:09 GMT-0600 (Central Standard Time)
...could I get some help as to what am doing wrong?

This should work, the format was incorrect though, it should be YYYY-MM-D
let sd = new Date();
const startOfWeek = (date) => {
let diff = date.getDate() - date.getDay() + (date.getDay() === 0 ? -6 : 1);
return new Date(date.setDate(diff));
}
const startDay = startOfWeek(sd)
console.log(moment(startDay).format('YYYY-MM-D'));

I think the moment js format you are looking for is:
moment(startDay).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
The format YYYY MMMM Do would return a string like: "2018 November 13th".

I think the moment js format you are looking for is:

The format YYYY MMMM Do would return a string like: "2018 November 13th".
