I am wondering if somebody can offer me help here. 

I am working with a JSON file to create a timeline using AngularJS. I have been able to figure out how to output the date using the HTML binding ng-repeat loop, but I need to edit the date output; "2013-01-01" becomes "December 31, 2012" after I reformat it.

I have been struggling to figure out how to pull the date value IN THE CONTROLLER so that I can apply it in a function that will turn that value into the proper date -- by adding another day to the date as it is.

Thank you very much! I hope that made sense.
