Get Date methods let us get date values (years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds) from a Date Object.
The get methods listed below return Local time from existing static date objects.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| getFullYear() | Get year as a four digit number (yyyy) |
| getMonth() | Get month as a number (0-11) |
| getDate() | Get day as a number (1-31) |
| getDay() | Get weekday as a number (0-6) |
| getHours() | Get hour (0-23) |
| getMinutes() | Get minute (0-59) |
| getSeconds() | Get second (0-59) |
| getMilliseconds() | Get millisecond (0-999) |
| getTime() | Get time (milliseconds since January 1, 1970) |
The getFullYear() method returns the year of a date as a four digit number.
Old JavaScript code might use the non-standard method getYear(). getYear() is supposed to return a 2-digit year. getYear() is deprecated. Do not use it!
const dateTime = new Date();
dateTime.getFullYear();
The getMonth() method returns the month of a date as a number (0-11).
In JavaScript, January is month number 0, February is number 1. Finally, December is month number 11.
You can use an array of names to return the month as a name.
const dateTime = new Date();
dateTime.getMonth();
const months = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May",
"June", "July", "August", "September", "October",
"November", "December"];
let month = months[dateTime.getMonth()];
The getDate() method returns the day of a date as a number (1-31).
const dateTime = new Date();
dateTime.getDate();
The getDay() method returns the weekday of a date as a number (0-6).
In JavaScript, the first day of the week (day 0) is Sunday. Some countries in the world consider the first day of the week to be Monday.
You can use an array of names, and getDay() to return weekday as a name.
const dateTime = new Date();
dateTime.getDay();
const days = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
"Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
let day = days[dateTime.getDay()];
The getHours() method returns the hours of a date as a number (0-23).
const dateTime = new Date();
dateTime.getHours();
The getMinutes() method returns the minutes of a date as a number (0-59).
const dateTime = new Date();
dateTime.getMinutes();
The getSeconds() method returns the seconds of a date as a number (0-59).
const dateTime = new Date();
dateTime.getSeconds();
The getMilliseconds() method returns the milliseconds of a date as a number (0-999).
const dateTime = new Date();
dateTime.getMilliseconds();
The getTime() method returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970.
const dateTime = new Date();
dateTime.getTime();
The Date.now() returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970.
The Date.now() is a static method of the Date object.
You cannot use it on a date object like dateTime.now(). The syntax is always Date.now().
let ms = Date.now();
The getTimezoneOffset() method returns the difference (in minutes) between local time an UTC time
dateTime.getTimezoneOffset();
The Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) methods listed below return universal time.
UTC time is the same as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). The difference between Local time and UTC time can be up to 24 hours.
| Method | Same As | Description |
|---|---|---|
| getUTCDate() | getDate() | Returns the UTC date |
| getUTCFullYear() | getFullYear() | Returns the UTC year |
| getUTCMonth() | getMonth() | Returns the UTC month |
| getUTCDay() | getDay() | Returns the UTC day |
| getUTCHours() | getHours() | Returns the UTC hour |
| getUTCMinutes() | getMinutes() | Returns the UTC minutes |
| getUTCSeconds() | getSeconds() | Returns the UTC seconds |
| getUTCMilliseconds() | getMilliseconds() | Returns the UTC milliseconds |
