How do I get the day of the month in javascript?

Question

I need to get the day of the month from a Date object but it seems that the getDay() method returns the day of the week. Is there a function that returns the day of the month?

Answer 1

Use date_object.getDate() to get the month day.

From the MDN docs link:

"Returns the day of the month for the specified date according to local time."

Answer 2

Try getDate() instead. Confusing naming, but that's life...

Answer 3

var date = new Date().getDate();

Answer 4

.getDate() 

is the method you want to call on a date object. As show in the documentation:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

Answer 5

const date = new Date();

const day = date.getDate();
const month = date.getMonth() + 1;
const year = date.getFullYear();
