How do you display the current date in Javascript

Posted by Andre Scott | Updated on September 6, 2020

You can use new Date() to generate a new Date object containing the current date and time. For example, let’s display the current date in mm/dd/yyyy

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);
