Question

How to get the current date in JavaScript?

Answer 1

var utc = new Date().toJSON().slice(0,10).replace(/-/g,'/');
document.write(utc);

If you want to reuse a utc variable (e.g. new Date(utc)), use the replace option, as Firefox and Safari do not recognize dashes date.

Answer 2

Use new Date()Generate a new Date object containing the current date and time.

var today = new Date();
var dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
var mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0'); //January is 0!
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();

today = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy;
document.write(today);
