The Date Object - Getting, Setting & Formatting Dates in JavaScript - Tutorial For Beginners

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.

I've always had a little trouble with Date, but now I understand everything. Great tutorial!

[@JustSomeRandomIdiot]

Perfect, thanks mate. Date object is always one of those things I've used but never sat down and studied the workings of because it was low on the priority list. Good to finally understand it a bit better.

Best video I come across so far on this topic

[@mrv3173]

Great Tutorial bro! Keep it up. Also to those who is looking for the mm/dd/yyyy 00:00 format you can skip to 15:50

[@jamesmassa1999]

Thanks again Dom! I'm constantly using your videos for reference; you're a one-man stack overflow! Please keep up the great work!

[@m12652]

Thanks matey, great tutorial... I’d be real interested to know the justification behind zero basing the month and not the day etc. Must have been a committee decision ;o)

[@dcode-software]

No worries matey and yeah look it might just be since arrays start at 0

new Date("some-random-string-09") returns Sat Sep 01 2001 00:00:00 GMT+0530 instead of invalid date. but if I do "new Date("some-random-string") " it returns Invalid date. Is there a way to validate a string whether it is a valid date string or not ?

[@mayanksharma7513]

4:20 reading dates from databases

[@saltech2024]

This is cool But I'm looking for a one that will append a date after a post eg. Article 3.5 posted 18 hours ago or posted 3 years ago

[@wiktorliszkiewicz354]

You sound a little bit like Ozyman XD . Ps. Good nice tutorial ;>

[@dcode-software]

I wonder why mate

[@abaundwal]

Which theme?

[@kujtimgjokaj659]

How can I show today's real date without time there, it's annoying me

[@andrewporter5790]

I literally just want someone to show me how to get the date to update in real time WITHOUT the time stamp that is all. I can't find out how anywhere.
