Js new date

A fundamental topic in JavaScript!

In JavaScript, the Date object is used to represent a date and time. You can create a new Date object using the new Date() constructor, which returns a Date object with the current date and time.

Here are some ways to create a new Date object:

  1. Default constructor: new Date() This creates a Date object with the current date and time.

    const now = new Date();
    console.log(now); // Output: current date and time
  2. Constructor with arguments: new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds) This creates a Date object with the specified date and time.

    const date = new Date(2022, 5, 12, 14, 30, 0, 0);
    console.log(date); // Output: June 12, 2022 02:30:00.000

    Note that the month argument is 0-based, meaning January is 0 and December is 11.

  3. Constructor with a string: new Date(string) This creates a Date object from a string in the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ (ISO 8601).

    const date = new Date('2022-06-12T14:30:00.000Z');
    console.log(date); // Output: June 12, 2022 14:30:00.000
  4. Constructor with a timestamp: new Date(timestamp) This creates a Date object from a timestamp (a number representing the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC).

    const timestamp = 1652304000000; // June 12, 2022 14:30:00.000
    const date = new Date(timestamp);
    console.log(date); // Output: June 12, 2022 14:30:00.000

    These are the basic ways to create a new Date object in JavaScript. You can also use various methods and properties of the Date object to manipulate and retrieve date and time information.
