Answer 1

Creates a function to format the date.
Handling dates in Javascript can be a bit boring, so you can do so:

function formatDate(sqlDate) {
  var date = new Date(sqlDate.substring(0, 11)),
      year = date.getFullYear(),
      month = String(date.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0'),
      day = String(date.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');

  return year + '-' + month + '-' + day;
}
