Remove time after converting date toISOString

Question

how can I remove the time after converting a date to ISO String?

var now = new Date();
console.log( now.toISOString() );

if the output is

2017-10-19T16:00:00.000Z

I just want it to be :

2017-10-19

There are actually many ways to do so:

1- Use Moment JS which gives you kind of flexibility in dealing with the issue

2- The simple way to do it in native JS is to use substr() function like that:

var date = new Date();
console.log(date.toISOString().substr(0,10));

The second way would be more effective if all you need is to remove the time part of the string and use the date only.
