title: Converting created_at attribute (json object) with underscore
body: <p>I have a JSON object I am trying to convert to a different date format in an underscore template.  Is there a JavaScript function I can call on it? Or do I have to change it on the rails side first before it is converted to a JSON object?</p>
  
  <p>Here is the underscore code in an underscore Template.</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;p class='my-well media-body'&gt;&lt;%%- comment %&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;%%-created_at%&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a function I can call on the "created_at" to allow me to change the default value (created by the datetime in sql) 2013-12-09T05:28:16.495Z  I would like the time in hours/minutes and the date in mm/dd/yy</p>
  
  <p>I haven't been able to find a strftime type function in JavaScript, but I know there are some in Ruby.  Do I have to change the format before the object is passed in as a JSON object?</p>
  
  <p>My current project is build in a Rails backend and Backbone FrontEnd.</p>
