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

For me this is best solution is,

for TypeScript as well

const env = process.env.REACT_APP_LOCALE || 'en';

const namedMonthsArray = (index?: number): string[] | string => {
  const months = [];

  for (let month = 0; month <= 11; month++) {
    months.push(
      new Date(new Date('1970-01-01').setMonth(month))
        .toLocaleString(env, {
          month: 'long',
        })
        .toString(),
    );
  }
  if (index) {
    return months[index];
  }
  return months;
};

Output is

["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"]
