Format the date in JS

Im using cabon to show in a form field a date in this format "format('d F Y - H:i')":

<div class="input-group date" data-provide="datepicker">
    <input type='text' name="date" value="{{ $post->date->format('d F Y - H:i') }}"
           class="form-control" placeholder="DD/MM/YYY" />
    <span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-calendar text-primary" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
</div>

Then I have some js to add some values to the form fields. My doubt is if we can use also "format('d F Y - H:i')" in the data array like below? The variable data is an array returned by the controller o the view.

JS

$("input[name='date']").val(data.date.format('d F Y - H:i'));
