Angularjs - display current date

Question

I got a view in angularjs and I\'m just trying to display the current date(formatted). I thought something like {{Date.now() | date:\'yyyy-MM-dd\'}}

Answer 1

A solution similar to the one of @Nick G. by using filter, but make the parameter meaningful:

Implement an filter called relativedate which calculate the date relative to current date by the given parameter as diff. As a result, (0 | relativedate) means today and (1 | relativedate) means tomorrow.

.filter('relativedate', ['$filter', function ($filter) {
  return function (rel, format) {
    let date = new Date();
    date.setDate(date.getDate() + rel);
    return $filter('date')(date, format || 'yyyy-MM-dd')
  };
}]);

and your html:

    
Yesterday: {{-1 | relativedate}}
    
Today: {{0 | relativedate}}
    
Tomorrow: {{1 | relativedate}}
