How do I get the current date in JavaScript?

Answer 1

The shortest possible.

To get format like "2018-08-03":

let today = new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 10)

console.log(today)

To get format like "8/3/2018":

let today = new Date().toLocaleDateString()

console.log(today)

Also, you can pass locale as argument, for example toLocaleDateString("sr"), etc.
