What's the meaning 'EEE' - angularjs

Looking at date filter on angular.js, EEE is used on the spot of the day of the week part, What's the meaning EEE?

The EEE term is used to custom format Datetime String:
'EEEE': Day in Week,(Sunday-Saturday)
'EEE': Day in Week, (Sun-Sat)
reference -> https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/filter/date
Usage
In HTML Template Binding:
{{ date_expression | date : format : timezone}}
In JavaScript:
$filter('date')(date, format, timezone)

From: angularjs docs
'EEE': Day in Week, (Sun-Sat)
That is, providing a formatter of 'EEE' will convert the date object to expose only the day in the week (like Sunday).

Style each section of a date after it been formatted with the correct date format

My problem is styling a date object properly. I would like to style the day month year and sometimes day of the week. If the date object is static it would be simple. The date format is passed in and usually takes in the account of localization so I don't know what the format will look like. I could be given mm/dd/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy (Simple case). Currently, we just pass it through angular date filter and it produces the correct date, but I can't style the month to be bold and blue for example.
Is there an easy way to parse a date with the format of dd/mm/yyyy and gives me:"12/12/1988"
Angular ships with a Date filter.
<p>{{'1491941202157' | date:'dd/MM/yyyy'}}</p> => 11/04/2017
Pair that up with a directive using the $filter in the controller, or simply split the string on / and wrap in style-able nodes like <span>, for example.

AngularJS datetime format get wrong hour and minute value based on localization

I have datetime value on database as follow
But following angularJS code display wrong hour in View
<i title="Baxıldı {{item.ViewedDate | date: 'dd.MM.yyyy hh:mm:ss Z'}}"></i>
for example:
I think this error depends on localization, in my country is UTC+4, so 4 hours added to current value.
Please help to solve this problem.
You can add timezone as the third argument when you're using the date filter.
{{ date_expression | date : format : timezone}}
Here's an example if the dates in your database in stored in UTC.
<i title="Baxıldı {{item.ViewedDate | date: 'dd.MM.yyyy hh:mm:ss Z': 'utc'}}"></i>
From the docs:
Timezone to be used for formatting. It understands UTC/GMT and the
continental US time zone abbreviations, but for general use, use a
time zone offset, for example, '+0430' (4 hours, 30 minutes east of
the Greenwich meridian) If not specified, the timezone of the browser
will be used.

Angular localization problems with number and date format

I am trying to format a date based on localisation and have the locale files setup correct so when using date format of shortDate I get the difference between UK and US format.
However we need the date to show the full year 2016 and not 16.
If I code it as dd MM yyyy then that gives me the correct UK format but when toggling to US mode the filter keeps it in that dd MM yyyy format.
How can I enable the date to be of type day month year for UK and month day year for US etc ?
Try https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toLocaleDateString
// US English uses month-day-year order
console.log(date.toLocaleDateString('en-US'));
// → "12/19/2012"
// British English uses day-month-year order
console.log(date.toLocaleDateString('en-GB'));
// → "20/12/2012"
Note this is not IE friendly like most of html5 and ES6 :v.
other way is to use http://momentjs.com/

Angular js Date Formatting

I want to change the date format from 10/07/2015(mm/dd/yyyy) to oct 7 ,2015 in angular js
i'm using {{'10/07/2015' | date:'longDate'}} and is giving me the same date '10/07/2015' as output
can any one help me with this?
As per the documentation, you have to format your date in a specific way for the date filter to work properly:
Documentation:
Date to format either as Date object, milliseconds (string or number) or various >ISO 8601 datetime string formats (e.g. yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.sssZ and its shorter >versions like yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mmZ, yyyy-MM-dd or yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ). If no timezone >is specified in the string input, the time is considered to be in the local >timezone.
Example ISO formatted:
<div>{{ "2015-10-07" | date:'longDate' }}</div>

Angular format date not rendering

I'm trying to use Angular's date/time formatting with this string
2015-01-20 16:49:07+00:00
{{ myDate | date : 'medium' }}
However, it doesn't seem to be working? Is the original string messed up?
According to the angular date filter docs:
Date to format either as Date object, milliseconds (string or number) or various ISO 8601 datetime string formats (e.g. yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.sssZ and its shorter versions like yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mmZ, yyyy-MM-dd or yyyyMMddTHHmmssZ). If no timezone is specified in the string input, the time is considered to be in the local timezone.
You'll notice that for an ISO 8601 date, you need a T before the time:
"2015-01-20T16:49:07+00:00"

The correct usage is:
{{ date_expression | date : format }}
To check all format options check the docs
