The Date object works with dates and times
The Date object works with dates and times.
Date objects are created with new Date()
.
There are four ways of instantiating (creating) a date:
new Date();
Try it Yourself »
new Date(milliseconds);
Try it Yourself »
new Date(dateString);
Try it Yourself »
new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
Name | Description |

constructor | Returns the function that created the Date object's prototype |
getDate() | Returns the day of the month (from 1-31) |
getDay() | Returns the day of the week (from 0-6) |
getFullYear() | Returns the year |
getHours() | Returns the hour (from 0-23) |
getMilliseconds() | Returns the milliseconds (from 0-999) |
getMinutes() | Returns the minutes (from 0-59) |
getMonth() | Returns the month (from 0-11) |
getSeconds() | Returns the seconds (from 0-59) |
getTime() | Returns the number of milliseconds since midnight Jan 1 1970, and a specified date |
getTimezoneOffset() | Returns the time difference between UTC time and local time, in minutes |
getUTCDate() | Returns the day of the month, according to universal time (from 1-31) |
getUTCDay() | Returns the day of the week, according to universal time (from 0-6) |
getUTCFullYear() | Returns the year, according to universal time |
getUTCHours() | Returns the hour, according to universal time (from 0-23) |
getUTCMilliseconds() | Returns the milliseconds, according to universal time (from 0-999) |
getUTCMinutes() | Returns the minutes, according to universal time (from 0-59) |
getUTCMonth() | Returns the month, according to universal time (from 0-11) |
getUTCSeconds() | Returns the seconds, according to universal time (from 0-59) |
getYear() | Deprecated. Use the getFullYear() method instead |
now() | Returns the number of milliseconds since midnight Jan 1, 1970 |
parse() | Parses a date string and returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 |
