Time Zone z or zz EST CST … MST PST Note: as of 1.6.0, the z/zz format tokens have been deprecated from plain moment objects. Read more about it here. However, they *do* work if you are using a specific time zone with the moment-timezone addon.

X was added in 2.0.0.

SSSS to SSSSSSSSS were added in 2.10.5. They display 3 significant digits and the rest is filled with zeros.
k and kk were added in 2.13.0. Localized formats
Because preferred formatting differs based on locale, there are a few tokens that can be used to format a moment based on its locale.
There are upper and lower case variations on the same formats. The lowercase version is intended to be the shortened version of its uppercase counterpart. Time LT 8:30 PM Time with seconds LTS 8:30:25 PM Month numeral, day of month, year L 09/04/1986

To escape characters in format strings, you can wrap the characters in square brackets.
moment().format('[today] dddd'); 'today Sunday' Similarities and differences with LDML Note: While these date formats are very similar to LDML date formats, there are a few minor differences regarding day of month, day of year, and day of week. For a breakdown of a few different date formatting tokens across different locales, see this chart of date formatting tokens. Formatting speed To compare Moment.js formatting speed against other libraries, check out this comparison against other libraries. Other tokens If you are more comfortable working with strftime instead of LDML-like parsing tokens, you can use Ben Oakes' plugin. benjaminoakes/moment-strftime. Default format Calling moment#format without a format will default to moment.defaultFormat. Out of the box, moment.defaultFormat is the ISO8601 format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ. As of version 2.13.0, when in UTC mode, the default format is governed by moment.defaultFormatUtc which is in the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss[Z]. This returns Z as the offset, instead of +00:00. In certain instances, a local timezone (such as Atlantic/Reykjavik) may have a zero offset, and will be considered to be UTC. In such cases, it may be useful to set moment.defaultFormat and moment.defaultFormatUtc to use the same formatting. Changing the value of moment.defaultFormat will only affect formatting, and will not affect parsing. for example: moment.defaultFormat = “DD.MM.YYYY HH:mm”; parse with .toDate() moment('20.07.2018 09:19').toDate() Invalid date format the date string with the new defaultFormat then parse moment('20.07.2018 09:19', moment.defaultFormat).toDate() Fri Jul 20 2018 09:19:00 GMT+0300
