Getting year-month-date from JS dates
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
I had this need.
Basically I wanted today’s date in this format
2023-01-20T07:00:00+02:00
The requirement was T07:00:00+02:00
to always stay as-is (I didn’t want the time to change).
But I wanted today’s date to be the current date.
The toISOString()
method of the Date object in JS gives you the data:
'2023-01-10T07:35:37.826Z'
But I just wanted the year, month, day.
I was reaching for the getFullYear()
and all those methods to get the data out of a date, but I figured I could just cut the string returned from toISOString()
so I used this:
`${new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 10)}T07:00:00+02:00`
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
