Getting the current Year using TypeScript

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to get the current year in TypeScript using the new Date() constructor.

Getting the current year

We can get the current year in TypeScript by calling a getFullYear() method on a new Date() constructor.

The getFullYear() method returns the current year in four-digit(2022) format according to the user local time.

Here is an example:

const currentYear  = new Date().getFullYear();
console.log(currentYear);

Output:

2022

Also we can get the current month, date in TypeScript by using getMonth(), getDate() methods.

Here is an example of current month:

const currentMonth  = new Date().getMonth();
console.log(currentMonth); // 8

The getMonth() returns the month in numerical format from (0 - 11), where 0 is January, 1 is February and 11 is December, etc.

Here is an example of current date:

const currentDate  = new Date().getDate();
console.log(currentDate); // 7

The getDate() returns the current day of a month according to the user’s local time.
