String value using moment. Js
My JS:
...
var dateText='';
dateText = moment(scope.mtxMaxdate,'MM-DD-YYYY');
console.log(dateText);
...
I want to output an example of my value:, '12/12/2014'
but in the console I have:
Moment {_isAMomentObject: true, _i: "17/12/2014", _f: "MM-DD-YYYY", _isUTC: false, _pf: Object…}
why?..

As stated in the momentjs docs , you have to use the function .format()
.
Something like this should do it:
var dateText='12-12-2014';
var dateObject = moment(dateText,'MM-DD-YYYY');
console.log(dateObject.format('DD/MM/YYYY'));
The format you give as an argument on the second line is just the parsing format.
I updated the code, the fact that you are using angular or not doesn't change anything. I think you don't understand that the moment js is generating an object from a string date. You can format this date object however you want.

But, following the accepted answer, a failure warning is issued. Failure warning at moment js
However, now it doesn't sound like a warning. Not sure if the resulting value is what you might need.
> moment("12-25-1995", ["MM-DD-YYYY", "YYYY-MM-DD"]).format('MM-DD-YYYY')
> "12-25-1995"
If you have an object Date
, convert it to toString () and then apply .format ()
