Date in JS(Fully Covered)

Date object

To create a date we can use Date() and we can pass arguments in the form of strings as well.

const date=new Date() // creates a new date with present date and current time
const date1=new Date("2021-01-23") // creates date with this date 
const date2=new Date("December 02, 2021 23:45:00")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To access the dates from Date object

We can use functions like getFullYear(),getMonth(),getDate(),getHours(),getMinutes(),getSeconds(),getMilliSeconds()

To set the dates from Date object

setFullYear(),setMonth(),setDate(),setHours(),setMinutes(),setSeconds(),setMilliSeconds()

Note that in all the above functions we should pass arguments as number.
But the getMonth() and setMonth() takes values as the month number in the form of 0-based indexing
