Get month name from Date

Question

How can I generate the name of the month (e.g: Oct/October) from this date object in JavaScript?

var objDate = new Date(\"10/11/2009\");

Answer 1

With momentjs, just use the format notation.

const myDate = new Date()
const shortMonthName = moment(myDate).format('MMM') // Aug
const fullMonthName = moment(myDate).format('MMMM') // August
