Answer 1

@cOnstructOr provided a great idea, but it left a comma in place

var today = new Date().toLocaleString('en-GB').split(' ')[0].slice(0,-1).split('/').reverse().join('-');

fixes that

Answer 2

function getDefaultDate(curDate){
var dt = new Date(curDate);`enter code here`
var date = dt.getDate();
var month = dt.getMonth();
var year = dt.getFullYear();
if (month.toString().length == 1) {
    month = "0" + month
}
if (date.toString().length == 1) {
    date = "0" + date
}
return year.toString() + "-" + month.toString() + "-" + date.toString();
}

In function pass your date string.

Answer 3

new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0];

Answer 4

What you want to do is fetch the value from the input and assign it to a new Date instance.

let date = document.getElementById('dateInput');

let formattedDate = new Date(date.value);

console.log(formattedDate);

Easier than the above is

var today = new Date().toISOString().substring(0,10); # "2013-12-31"

The format is YYYY-MM-DD. You cannot change it.

$('#myinput').val('2013-12-31'); sets value
