The best way to do this is to create your own simple formatter  as below    getDate   returns the day of the month  from 1-31  getMonth   returns the month  from 0-11   lt  zero-based  0 January  11 December getFullYear   returns the year  four digits   lt  don t use getYear      function formatDateToString date         01  02  03      29  30  31    var dd    date getDate    lt  10    0          date getDate          01  02  03      10  11  12    var MM     date getMonth     1   lt  10    0           date getMonth     1         1970  1971      2015  2016         var yyyy   date getFullYear           create the format you want    return  dd    -    MM    -    yyyy

If you want a format like  YYYY-MM-DDTHH mm ss   then this might be quicker   var date   new Date   toISOString   substr 0  19      toISOString   will give you YYYY-MM-DDTHH mm ss sssZ   Or the commonly used MySQL datetime format  YYYY-MM-DD HH mm ss    var date2   new Date   toISOString   substr 0  19  replace  T           I hope this helps

I would suggest you use a different library called Moment https   momentjs com   This way you are able to format the date directly without having to do extra work  const date   moment   format  YYYY-MM-DD      date   2020-01-04    Make sure you import moment as well to be able to use it   yarn add moment    to add the dependency   import moment from  moment      import this at the top of the file you want to use it in   Hope this helps  D

The answers here were helpful  however I need more than that  not only month  date  month  hours  amp  seconds  for a default name   Interestingly  though prepend of  0  was needed for all above      1  was needed only for month  not others   As example     0     d getMonth     1   slice -2         Note   1 is needed   0     d getHours     slice -2             Note   1 is not needed

Why not use padStart    x000D   x000D  var dt   new Date     year    dt getFullYear    month    dt getMonth     1  toString   padStart 2   0    day     dt getDate   toString   padStart 2   0     console log year         month         day   x000D   x000D   x000D   This will always return 2 digit numbers even if the month or day is less than 10  Notes   This will only work with Internet Explorer if the js code is transpiled using babel  getFullYear   returns the 4 digit year and doesn t require padStart  getMonth   returns the month from 0 to 11   1 is added to the month before padding to keep it 1 to 12   getDate   returns the day from 1 to 31   the 7th day will return 07 and so we do not need to add 1 before padding the string
