How do I retrieve the month from the current date in mm
format? (i.e. "05")
This is my current code:
var currentDate = new Date(); var currentMonth = currentDate.getMonth() + 1;
Use the getMonth() method to get the month for the given date. Use the getDate() method to get the day of the month for the given date. Use the padStart() method to get the values in a 2-digit format.
Use the new Date() constructor to get a date object. Call the getMonth() method on the object and add 1 to the result. The getMonth method returns a zero-based month index so adding 1 returns the current month.
The getMonth() method returns the month in the specified date according to local time, as a zero-based value (where zero indicates the first month of the year).
Javascript date getMonth() method returns the month in the specified date according to local time. The value returned by getMonth() is an integer between 0 and 11.
An alternative way:
var currentMonth=('0'+(currentDate.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2)
