Convert javascript to date object to mysql date format (YYYY-MM-DD)

Question

I\'m trying to use javascript to convert a date object into a valid mysql date - what is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

// function
getDate = function(dateObj){
    var day = dateObj.getDay() < 9 ? '0'+dateObj.getDay():dateObj.getDay();
    var month = dateObj.getMonth() < 9 ? '0'+dateObj.getMonth():dateObj.getMonth();
    return dateObj.getFullYear()+'-'+month+'-'+day;
}

// example usage
console.log(getDate(new Date()));

// with custom date
console.log(getDate(new Date(2012,dateObj.getMonth()-30,dateObj.getDay()));
