I am building my first ReactNative iOS and Android app. I am an iOS coder with Swift and Obj-C. How do I fetch the current date using ReactNative.
Shall I use Native Modules or is there an ReactNative API from which I can get this data ?

To get the current date in react native has the Date() object it will return every time the current date and time when we use it. you have just call it like new Date() . we have to just write new Date() and it returns the date object where we get a year, month, date, hours, minutes, and seconds.
To get the current month in react native has the new Date(). getMonth() method which will return every time the current month index in number datatype. we have to just call new Date(). getMonth() and it will check the current date and return month index based on the date.
To format a date string in React Native, we can use moment. js. to call moment with a JavaScript date object to create a moment object with the same date. Then we call format with a format string to return a date string with the given date.
To get current date with Moment and JavaScript, we use the moment function without any arguments. const datetime = moment();
The JavaScript runtime in React Native has access to date information just like any other environment. As such, simply:
new Date() ... will give you the current date. Here's the MDN on working with dates in JS.
If you want a good JS library to make working with dates even easier, check out MomentJS.
