How to get date in format 2009/12/30?

Answer 1

I would suggest you to use Moment.js http://momentjs.com/

Then you can do:

moment(new Date()).format("YYYY/MM/DD");

Note: you don't actualy need to add new Date() if you want the current TimeDate, I only added it as a reference that you can pass a date object to it. for the current TimeDate this also works:

moment().format("YYYY/MM/DD");
