Getting current date in JavaScript
To get the current date in JavaScript, we need to use three library functions of Date class,
- Date getDate() Method – It returns current date (day of the month)
- Date getMonth() Method – It returns current month of the year
- Date getFullYear() Method – It returns current year in 4 digits format
Note: To call these functions, we need to create an object to the Date class using Date class constructor.
Examples:
Date class constructor:
var dt = new Date();
Function calls:
dt.getDate();
dt.getMonth()+1;
dt.getFullYear();
Output:
4
3
2019
