title: Calling a value from JSON in the controller in AngularJS so I can edit it
body: <p>I am wondering if somebody can offer me help here. </p>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much! I hope that made sense.</p>
