Rearrange date format jQuery or javascript

Question

Hello I have a function that generates the date with this format:

MM-DD-YYYY

Is there any jquery or javascript trick to convert that value into:

YYYY-MM-DD?

More Detailed Explanation:

The function I have generates the date and stored in a variable called tdate

So var tdate = 01-30-2001

I would like to do some jquery or javascript to turn tdate into:

tdate = 2001-01-30

tdate is a string

Thanks!

You can use .split(), destructuring assignment, termplate literal to place yyyy, mm, dd in any order

var date = "01-30-2001";

var [mm, dd, yyyy] = date.split("-");

var revdate = `${yyyy}-${mm}-${dd}`;

console.log(revdate)
