> diwali.getDay(); // it's on a Thursday
<< 4
The
getDate()
and
getUTCDate()
methods return the day of the month for the date
object:
> diwali.getDate(); // it's on the 23rd
<< 23
The
getMonth()
and
getUTCMonth()
methods can be used to find the month of the
date object. It returns an integer, but remember that JavaScript starts counting at 0, so Janu-
ary is 0, February is 1, and so on up to December being 11:
> diwali.getMonth(); // it's in October
<< 9
The
getFullYear()
and
getUTCFullYear()
methods return the year of the date
object. There is also a
getYear()
method, but it isn't Y2K compliant, so shouldn't be
used:
> diwali.getYear(); // broken for years after 2000
<< 114
> diwali.getFullYear(); // use this instead
<< 2014
There are also
getHours()
,
getUTCHours()
,
getMinutes()
,
getUTCMinutes()
,
getSeconds()
,
getUTCSeconds
,
getMilliseconds()
,
and
getUTCMilliseconds()
methods that will return the hours, minutes, seconds and
milliseconds since midnight.
The
getTime()
method returns a timestamp representing the number of milliseconds
since the Epoch:
> diwali.getTime();
<< 1414018800000
