Javascript Date - set just the date ignoring time

Question

I have a bunch of objects  each of which has a timestamp  that I want to group by date  into a JSON object  The ultimate goal is something like this   myObject          06 07 2012                              timestamp     07 06 2012 13 30                                                     timestamp     07 06 2012 14 00                                         07 07 2012           To get the date  I m testing each timestamp object and using   var visitDate   new Date parseInt item timestamp  10    visitDate setHours 0   visitDate setMinutes 0   visitDate setSeconds 0       then I m using that to store as a name for the JSON object  It seems messy  and I m sure there should be an easier way of doing things   Advice   suggestions welcomed

If you don t mind creating an extra date object  you could try   var tempDate   new Date parseInt item timestamp  10    var visitDate   new Date  tempDate getUTCFullYear    tempDate getUTCMonth    tempDate getUTCDate       I do something very similar to get a date of the current month without the time

How about  toDateString      Alternatively  use  getDate     getMonth    and  getYear     In my mind  if you want to group things by date  you simply want to access the date  not set it   Through having some set way of accessing the date field  you can compare them and group them together  no    Check out all the fun Date methods here  MDN Docs    Edit  If you want to keep it as a date object  just do this   var newDate   new Date oldDate toDateString       Date s constructor is pretty smart about parsing Strings  though not without a ton of caveats  but this should work pretty consistently   so taking the old Date and printing it to just the date without any time will result in the same effect you had in the original post
