[SalesForce] lwc convert date from text to lightning-input of type date

I have a component which is displayed in a custom data table column for a text field having date value. By default text value dueDate along with Edit icon gets displayed. When the edit icon gets pressed, a popup is displayed with lightning-input component of type date along with save and cancel buttons. The need is to display the date in text in MM/DD/YYYY format in lightning-input component of type date properly. when i click edit the value displayed in lightning input is not correct. how can this be formatted correctly. Event the value selected in date picker needs to be formatted properly.

            class="cell slds-grid slds-grid_align-spread slds-grid_vertical-align-center"

Dates are displayed by default in a medium-length style, such asJan 7, 2019in the en-US locale.

To specify a short style such as1/7/2019, set date-style="short".

To specify a long style such asJanuary 7, 2019 set date-style="long".

If a user enters a date using a different style, the component accepts the input and reformats it to the specified date-style during the blur event. The date entered must be valid for the user's Salesforce locale, and match one of the short, medium, or long styles.

  <lightning:input name="input1" label="Enter a date" type="date" dateStyle="short" />  
        <lightning:input name="input2" label="Enter a date" type="date" dateStyle="medium" />  
        <lightning:input name="input3" label="Enter a date" type="date" dateStyle="long" />
