Date-Formatting Methods

Description

There are several Date type methods to format the date as a string.

• toDateString() - Displays the date's day of the week, month, day of the month, and year in an implementation-specific format.
• toTimeString() - Displays the date's hours, minutes, seconds, and time zone in an implementation-specific format.
• toLocaleDateString() - Displays the date's day of the week, month, day of the month, and year in an implementation- and locale-specific format.
• toLocaleTimeString() - Displays the date's hours, minutes, and seconds in an implementation-specific format.
• toUTCString() - Displays the complete UTC date in an implementation-specific format.

Example

var date1 = new Date(2007, 0, 1);          //"January 1, 2007"
console.log(date1.toDateString());
console.log(date1.toTimeString());/*from   w  ww  .j  a v  a2s.c  o m*/
console.log(date1.toLocaleDateString());
console.log(date1.toLocaleTimeString());
console.log(date1.toUTCString());

The code above generates the following result.
