In this video I’ll be demonstrating how to use the native JavaScript Date object to work with dates on the client-side of your web application or website.
In most cases, a library such as Moment.js may be more suitable for working with dates but sometimes this native object is enough to satisfy your requirements.

Thanks, DOM 🙂
Very good tutorial! Also if you need only date part in string format you can use: new Date().toDateString() and you'll get something like // expected output: Wed Jul 28 1993
Would love to see you doing something cool with it visually as well, this was a great help!
Awesome. Thanks 👍
