How to format a date in JavaScript or How to get date in format 25/05/2022 in JavaScript? These are typical questions that we may need to answer when manipulating date objects using JavaScript. There is no direct function to format a date, here is what we can do to format a date object into "dd/MM/yyyy":
var currentDate = new Date();
var month = currentDate.getUTCMonth() + 1; //getUTCMonth() returns 0-11
var day = currentDate.getUTCDate();
var year = currentDate.getUTCFullYear();
var dateFormatted = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;
Here is a list of the methods that can be used for getting information from a date object:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| getFullYear() | Get the year as a four digit number (yyyy) |
| getMonth() | Get the month as a number (0-11) |
| getDate() | Get the day as a number (1-31) |
| getHours() | Get the hour (0-23) |
| getMinutes() | Get the minute (0-59) |
| getSeconds() | Get the second (0-59) |
| getMilliseconds() | Get the millisecond (0-999) |
| getTime() | Get the time (milliseconds since January 1, 1970) |
| getDay() | Get the weekday as a number (0-6) |
| Date.now() | Get the time. |
