JavaScript new Date Ordinal (st, nd, rd, th)

Question

If at all possible, without JavaScript libraries or lots of clunky code I am looking for the simplest way to format a date two weeks from now in the following format:

<

Answer 1

A short and compact solution:

function format(date, tmp){
  return [
    (tmp = date.getDate()) + 
      ([, 'st', 'nd', 'rd'][/1?.$/.exec(tmp)] || 'th'),
    [ 'January', 'February', 'March', 'April',
      'May', 'June', 'July', 'August',
      'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'
    ][date.getMonth()],
    date.getFullYear()
  ].join(' ')
}


// 14 days from today

console.log('14 days from today: ' + 
  format(new Date(+new Date + 14 * 864e5)));

// test formatting for all dates within a month from today

var day = 864e5, today = +new Date;
for(var i = 0; i < 32; i++) {
  console.log('Today + ' + i + ': ' + format(new Date(today + i * day)))
}

(The compact regex-based approach for getting the ordinal suffix appears several places around the web, original source unknown)
