Our applications may have a lot of data for presentation, But for creating a good user experience it is preferable to see in a more understandable format like March 12, 2010 is better to read then Mon Mar 12 2010 15:23:40 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time).
For such small and repeated tasks of transforming values in other formats we used to use Filters in AngularJS version 1, But after Angular 2 we have pipes which serve similar tasks and once defined can be used anywhere in the application.
