How to get the first date of the current month in Node.js?

Question

I'm trying to get the first and last date of the current month using Node.js.

Following code is working perfectly in browser (Chrome):

var date = new Date(), y = date.getFullYear(), m = date.getMonth();
var firstDay = new Date(y, m, 1);
var lastDay = new Date(y, m + 1, 0);

console.log(firstDay);
console.log(lastDay);

But it is showing a different result in Node.js. How can I fix it?

Changing the native Date object in the accepted answer is bad practice; don't do that ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/8859896/3929494 )

You should use moment.js to give you a consistent environment for handling dates in JavaScript between node.js and all browsers - see it as an abstraction layer. http://momentjs.com/ - it's quite easy to use.
