Sorry Mukesh Ghosh , there is no such explanation.

you may use toLocaleDateString() of Date object to get a string of a specific date (like 12/13/2014) and then analyze the string to decide what was the original formatting string...

Try this

XML

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var date = new Date();
var d  = date.getDate();
var day = (d < 10) ? '0' + d : d;
var m = date.getMonth() + 1;
var month = (m < 10) ? '0' + m : m;
var yy = date.getYear();
var year = (yy < 1000) ? yy + 1900 : yy;

alert(day + "/" + month + "/" + year);
 //--></script>

Hi, I made a function to determine the client date format. The function determine
the date format separator, and also determine the 1st, 2nd and third part of
the date format.

Java

getDateFormat(){
        // initialize date value "31st January 2019"
        var my_date = new Date(2019,0,31);
        console.log(my_date.toLocaleDateString());
        // Initialize variables
        var separator="";
        var first="";
        var second="";
        var third="";
        var date_parts = [];

        // get separator : "-", "/" or " ", format based on toLocaleDateString function        
        if (my_date.toLocaleDateString().split("-").length==3){
            separator = " - ";
            date_parts = my_date.toLocaleDateString().split("-");
        } 
        if (my_date.toLocaleDateString().split("/").length == 3) {
            separator = " / ";
            date_parts = my_date.toLocaleDateString().split("/");
        } 
        if (my_date.toLocaleDateString().split(" ").length == 3) {
            separator = " ";
            date_parts = my_date.toLocaleDateString().split(" ");
        } 

        // get first part        
        if (date_parts[0]==2019){
            first ="yyyy";
        } else if (date_parts[0] == 31){
            first = "dd";
        } else{
            if (date_parts[0].length<=2){
                first ="mm";
            }
            else{
                first="mmm";
            }
        }

        // get second part        
        if (date_parts[1] == 2019) {
            second = "yyyy";
        } else if (date_parts[1] == 31) {
            second = "dd";
        } else {
            if (date_parts[1].length <= 2) {
                second = "mm";
            }
            else {
                second = "mmm";
            }
        }

        // get third part        
        if (date_parts[2] == 2019) {
            third = "yyyy";
        } else if (date_parts[2] == 31) {
            third = "dd";
        } else {
            if (date_parts[2].length <= 2) {
                third = "mm";
            }
            else {
                third = "mmm";
            }
        }

        // assembly
        var format = first + separator + second + separator + third;
        console.log(format);
        return format;
    }
