// Get today's date in Javascript
var today = new Date();
// Get year
var year = today.getFullYear();
// Get month
var month = today.getMonth();
// Get day
var day = today.getDate();
// Get milliseconds since 1 January 1970
var milliseconds = today.getTime();
// Get timezone offset (in minutes)
var timezoneOffset = today.getTimezoneOffset();
// Get day of week (0 to 6)
var dayOfWeek = today.getDay();
// Format date
// Day/Month/Year
var date = day + "/"+ (month + 1) + "/" + year;
// Output
console.log(date);The above code will output the current date in the format of Day/Month/Year. For example, if today is December 21, 2020, it will output 21/12/2020.
You can also use the toDateString() method to get a more readable date. For example, the following code will output Monday, December 21, 2020:
JavaScript
// Get date
var date = today.toDateString();
// Output
console.log(date);You can also get the hour, minute, and second of the current time in Javascript by using the getHours(), getMinutes(), and getSeconds() methods. For example, the following code will output the current hour, minute, and second:
JavaScript
// Get hour
var hour = today.getHours();
// Get minute
var minute = today.getMinutes();
// Get second
var second = today.getSeconds();
// Output
console.log(hour + ":" + minute + ":" + second);You can also use the toTimeString() method to get a more readable time. For example, the following code will output 3:37:21 PM:
JavaScript
// Get time
var time = today.toTimeString();
// Output
console.log(time);
