How do I get the current date in JavaScript?

Answer 1

To get the current date in JavaScript you can use new Date()method to generate a new Date object containing the current date and time.

var today = new Date(); 

var dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0'); 

var mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');

var yyyy = today.getFullYear(); 

today = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy; document.write(today);
