Getting year-month-date from JS dates
New Courses Coming Soon
Join the waiting lists
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`
