Get String in YYYYMMDD format from JS date object?

Question

I\'m trying to use JS to turn a date object into a string in YYYYMMDD format. Is there an easier way than concatenating Date.getYear()

Answer 1

You can use the toISOString function :

var today = new Date();
today.toISOString().substring(0, 10);

It will give you a "yyyy-mm-dd" format.
