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()

Little bit simplified version for the most popular answer in this thread https://stackoverflow.com/a/3067896/5437379 :

function toYYYYMMDD(d) {
    var yyyy = d.getFullYear().toString();
    var mm = (d.getMonth() + 101).toString().slice(-2);
    var dd = (d.getDate() + 100).toString().slice(-2);
    return yyyy + mm + dd;
}
