How to use momentjs just in code? Not in templates.

All pipes implement PipeTransform which has method transform(value: any, ...args: any[]). You can use it like this:

let a = new Date();
let b = (new DateFormatPipe()).transform(a, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm');
console.log(a);
console.log(b);

Will output

Also instead of creating a new instance you can provide pipe in parent module and inject in constructor (just like a service).

Don't forget to:

import { DateFormatPipe } from 'angular2-moment';
