How can I get date in application run by node.js?

Question

Do I have to manually run date command using child_process and fetch the result from it to get the date? Is there any other way using node?

Answer 1

You do that as you would in a browser:

    var datetime = new Date();      console.log(datetime);

Answer 2

    var datetime = new Date();      console.log(datetime.toISOString().slice(0,10));
