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

Add some padding to allow a leading zero - where needed - and concatenate using your delimiter of choice as string.

Number.prototype.padLeft = function(base,chr){
        var  len = (String(base || 10).length - String(this).length)+1;
        return len > 0? new Array(len).join(chr || '0')+this : this;
    }

var d = new Date(my_date);
var dformatted = [(d.getMonth()+1).padLeft(), d.getDate().padLeft(), d.getFullYear()].join('/');
