Question

filename=${`any_name_${new Date().toJSON().slice(0,10)}.zip

can anyone help me with it?

Answer 1

You can use template literals to accomplish this:

let filename = `any_name_${(new Date().toJSON().slice(0,10))}.zip`
console.log(`Add here ${filename}`);

Answer 2

You can use string concatenation:

var filename="any_name_" + new Date().toJSON().slice(0,10) + ".zip";
console.log(filename)

Output:

any_name_2019-04-04.zip
