Answer 1

I think you have got it in that last attempt, you just need to grab the string.. in Chrome's console..

startdate = moment();
startdate.subtract(1, 'd');
startdate.format('DD-MM-YYYY');
"14-04-2015"

startdate = moment();
startdate.subtract(1, 'd');
myString = startdate.format('DD-MM-YYYY');
"14-04-2015"
myString
"14-04-2015"
