Example 2: new date javascript
// Several ways to create a Date object
let today = new Date();
let birthday = new Date("December 17, 1995 03:24:00");
let birthday = new Date("1995-12-17T03:24:00");
let birthday = new Date(1995, 11, 17); // the month is 0-indexed
let birthday = new Date(1995, 11, 17, 3, 24, 0);
let birthday = new Date(628021800000); // passing epoch timestamp
// To get Date, Month and Year or Time
let [month, date, year] = new Date().toLocaleDateString("en-US").split("/");
let [hour, minute, second] = new Date()
.toLocaleTimeString("en-US")
.split(/:| /);
// Two digit years map to 1900 – 1999
let date = new Date(98, 1); // Sun Feb 01 1998 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (GMT)
// Deprecated method; 98 maps to 1998 here as well
date.setYear(98); // Sun Feb 01 1998 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (GMT)
date.setFullYear(98); // Sat Feb 01 0098 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (BST)
Example 3: javascript date methods
var d= new Date();

d.getMinutes();//Get the minute (0-59)
d.getSeconds();//Get the second (0-59)
d.getMilliseconds();//Get the millisecond (0-999)

Example 4: javascript get date
let date = new Date(); //actual time in miliseconds
let string = date.toString();
// expected output: Wed Jul 28 1993 14:39:07 GMT+0200 (CEST)
// if you need more power: date-fns.js or moment.js
