 * Hi [@usmansagri](https://wordpress.org/support/users/usmansagri/),
 * After you fetch the data from the API and convert it into JSON format. You can
   divide the date string into two separate substrings – date and time.
 * Please refer to the JS code below:
 *     ```
       const datefromapi = data.date;
       const indexOf_T = datefromapi.indexOf("T");
       const date = datefromapi.substr(0,indexOf_T);
       const time = datefromapi.substr(indexOf_T + 1);
       ```
   
 * I hope this helps.

                   <TouchableOpacity onPress={() =>  navigation.navigate('CatPostModal')}>
                     {item.featured_media>0?<Image style={{width:Dimensions.width,height:250}} source={{
                         uri: item.imageLink
                       }}/>:null}
