Get month in mm format in javascript

Question

How do I retrieve the month from the current date in mm format? (i.e. \"05\")

This is my current code:

var currentDate = new Date();
va         


        

Answer 1

If you do this

var currentDate = new Date();
var currentMonth = currentDate.getMonth() + 1;

then currentMonth is a number, which you can format as you want, see this question that will help you with formatting: How can I format an integer to a specific length in javascript?
