Answer 1

An alternative with ES6 template strings

A solution for mm/yyyy. Not quite the question, but I guess remove the second part.

const MonthYear = `${dateObj.getMonth() < 10 ? '0' : '' }${dateObj.getMonth()+1}/${dateObj.getFullYear()}`

const Month = `${dateObj.getMonth() < 10 ? '0' : '' }${dateObj.getMonth()+1}`
