Convert UTC date into date/time format in javascript

Question

I am working with an API that only provides a UTC date/time as it's publishedDate. I want to convert that field into a specific date format, for example, d-m-Y or H:i. An example API field would be.

{
    "title": "This is a title"
    "thumbnail": "/path/to/image.jpg"
    "slug": "slug-of-story"
    "publishedDate": "2019-07-02T13:38:15.215Z"
}

Is there a way in vanilla javascript I can convert this value into a human readable date format that I specify?

I am using VueJS to render the API fields so I can attach a method to this specific field during the rendering phase. However, I am keen not use momentJS as I don't want to introduce a dependency for one JSON field.

var a=new Date();
console.log(a.getDate() +"\\"+ Number(1+a.getMonth()) +"\\"+ +Number(1900+a.getYear()))
