Javascript add leading zeroes to date

Question

I\'ve created this script to calculate the date for 10 days in advance in the format of dd/mm/yyyy:

var MyDate = new Date();
var MyDateString = new Date();
M         


        

Answer 1

There is another approach to solve this problem, using slice in JavaScript.

var d = new Date();
var datestring = d.getFullYear() + "-" + ("0"+(d.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2) +"-"+("0" + d.getDate()).slice(-2);

the datestring return date with format as you expect: 2019-09-01

another approach is using dateformat library: https://github.com/felixge/node-dateformat
