Pipe date format bug fixed in Angular 2.0.0-rc.2, this Pull Request.

Now we can do the conventional way:

{{valueDate | date: 'dd/MM/yyyy'}}

Examples:

Current Version:

Example Angular 8.x.x

Old Versions:

Example Angular 7.x

Example Angular 6.x

Example Angular 4.x

Example Angular 2.x

More info in documentation DatePipe

Import DatePipe from angular/common and then use the below code:

var datePipe = new DatePipe();    this.setDob = datePipe.transform(userdate, 'dd/MM/yyyy');

whereuserdatewill be your date string.See if this helps.

Make note of the lowercase for date and year :

d - dateM - monthy - year

EDIT

You have to pass locale string as an argument to DatePipe, in latest angular. I have tested in angular 4.x

For Example:

var datePipe = new DatePipe('en-US');

You can achieve this using by a simple custom pipe.

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';import { DatePipe } from '@angular/common';@Pipe({    name: 'dateFormatPipe',})export class dateFormatPipe implements PipeTransform {    transform(value: string) {       var datePipe = new DatePipe("en-US");        value = datePipe.transform(value, 'dd/MM/yyyy');        return value;    }}

Template:

{{currentDate | dateFormatPipe }}

Advantage of using a custom pipe is that, if you want to update the date format in future, you can go and update your custom pipe and it will reflect every where.
