How do I format dates in JavaScript?

You can use the toLocaleDateString() method or libraries like Moment.js for formatting dates.

Can you show me an example using toLocaleDateString()?

Sure! Here's an example: new Date().toLocaleDateString('en-US') will format the date in MM/DD/YYYY format.

What if I want a custom format like 'YYYY-MM-DD'?

For a custom format, you can manually extract the year, month, and day using getFullYear(), getMonth(), and getDate() methods.

Can you provide a code snippet for that?

Absolutely! Here's a snippet:

const date = new Date();
const formattedDate = `${date.getFullYear()}-${(date.getMonth() + 1).toString().padStart(2, '0')}-${date.getDate().toString().padStart(2, '0')}`;
console.log(formattedDate);
