JavaScript Date Objects
JavaScript Date Object lets us work with dates:
Thu Oct 07 2021 12:13:36 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
Example
const d = new Date();
JavaScript Date Output
By default, JavaScript will use the browser's time zone and display a date as a full text string:
Thu Oct 07 2021 12:13:36 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
You will learn much more about how to display dates, later in this tutorial.
Creating Date Objects
Date objects are created with the
new Date() constructor.
There are 4 ways to create a new date object:
new Date()
new Date(year, month,
day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds)
new
Date(milliseconds)
new Date(date
string)
new Date()
new Date() creates a new date object with the
current date and time:
Example
const d = new Date();
Date objects are static. The computer time is ticking, but date objects are not.
new Date(year, month, ...)
new Date(year, month, ...) creates a new date
object with a specified date and time.
7 numbers specify year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond (in that order):
Example
const d = new Date(2018, 11, 24, 10, 33, 30, 0);
Note: JavaScript counts months from 0 to 11:
January = 0.
December = 11.
