📅 JavaScript Date Methods

The Date object in JavaScript is used to work with dates and times.

You can create a new date using new Date() and retrieve or set components using various methods.

Use the new Date() constructor to create a Date object representing the current date and time.

Use the following methods to retrieve specific parts of a date:

• getFullYear(): Get year as a 4-digit number
• getMonth(): Get month (0–11)
• getDate(): Get day of the month (1–31)
• getDay(): Get day of the week (0–6, Sunday–Saturday)
• getHours(): Get hour (0–23)
• getMinutes(): Get minutes (0–59)
• getSeconds(): Get seconds (0–59)
• getMilliseconds(): Get milliseconds (0–999)
• getTime(): Get time in milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970

You can modify parts of a Date object using the following setter methods:

• setFullYear(year)
• setMonth(monthIndex)
• setDate(day)
• setHours(hour)
• setMinutes(min)
• setSeconds(sec)

You can convert a date to a readable string using these methods:

• toDateString(): Returns only the date portion
• toTimeString(): Returns only the time portion
• toISOString(): Returns in ISO format
