Javascript Date.format add-on

Adds format() method to the built-in Date object's prototype, that can be used in a way similar to PHP's date():

new Date().format("Y-m-d H:i:s");// "2018-05-10 08:50:05"

This is a simple date formatting utility. If you need sophisticated mangling with dates, consider using momentjs or datejs
