How to format date in meteor template

You may want to create a global helper like:

Template.registerHelper('formatDate', function(date) {
  return moment(date).format('MM-DD-YYYY');
});

Then you can use it like:

{{#each vname}}
  {{formatDate date}}
{{/each}}

This solution depends on moment which is a handy date manipulation library. If you prefer to produce the string without using moment, there are a number of answers for this including this one.
