The Date object represents a date and time functionality in TypeScript. It allows us to get or set the year, month and day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond.
If we create a date without any argument passed to its constructor, by default, it contains the date and time of the user's computer.
The Date object also provides the functions which deal with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time, also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The World Time Standard is based on UTC time.
There are four ways to create a new date object:
new Date(): It creates a new date object with the current date and time.
let date: Date = new Date();
console.log("Date = " + date); //Date = Tue Feb 05 2019 12:05:22 GMT+0530 (IST)new Date(milliseconds): It creates a new date object as zero time plus milliseconds.
let date: Date = new Date(500000000000);
console.log("Date = " + date); //Date = Tue Nov 05 1985 06:23:20 GMT+0530 (IST)new Date(datestring): It creates a new date object from a date string.
let date: Date = new Date("2019-01-16");
console.log("Date = " + date); //Date = Wed Jan 16 2019 05:30:00 GMT+0530 (IST)new Date ( year, month, date[, hour, minute, second, millisecond ]): It creates a new date object with a specified date and time.
let date: Date = new Date(2018, 0O5, 0O5, 17, 23, 42, 11);
console.log("Date = " + date); //Date = Tue Jun 05 2018 17:23:42 GMT+0530 (IST)| Property | Description |
