Why not using the method toISOString   with slice or simply toLocaleDateString    Check here   x000D   x000D  const d   new Date      today  now  console log d toISOString   slice 0  10      YYYY-MM-DD  console log d toLocaleDateString  en-US       M D YYYY console log d toLocaleDateString  de-DE       D M YYYY console log d toLocaleDateString  pt-PT       DD MM YYYY x000D   x000D   x000D

var dt   new Date     dt getFullYear            dt getMonth     1          dt getDate      Since month index are 0 based you have to increment it by 1   Edit  For a complete list of date object functions see  Date  getMonth     Returns the month  0-11  in the specified date according to local time    getUTCMonth     Returns the month  0-11  in the specified date according to universal time

ES2018 introduced regex capture groups which you can use to catch day  month and year   const REGEX       lt year gt  0-9  4  -   lt month gt  0-9  2  -   lt day gt  0-9  2    const results   REGEX exec  2018-07-12    console log results groups year   console log results groups month   console log results groups day     Advantage of this approach is possiblity to catch day  month  year for non-standard string date formats    Ref  https   www freecodecamp org news es9-javascripts-state-of-art-in-2018-9a350643f29c

I would suggest you to use Moment js http   momentjs com   Then you can do    moment new Date    format  YYYY MM DD      Note  you don t actualy need to add new Date   if you want the current TimeDate  I only added it as a reference that you can pass a date object to it  for the current TimeDate this also works    moment   format  YYYY MM DD

2021 ANSWER You can use the native  toLocaleDateString   function which supports several useful params like locale  to select a format like MM DD YYYY or YYYY MM DD   timezone  to convert the date  and formats details options  eg  1 vs 01 vs January   Examples new Date   toLocaleDateString      8 19 2020  new Date   toLocaleDateString  en-US    year   numeric   month   2-digit   day   2-digit        08 19 2020  month and day with two digits   new Date   toLocaleDateString  en-ZA       2020 08 19  year month day  notice the different locale  new Date   toLocaleDateString  en-CA       2020-08-19  year-month-day  notice the different locale  new Date   toLocaleString  quot en-US quot    timeZone   quot America New York quot        8 19 2020  9 29 51 AM   date and time in a specific timezone   new Date   toLocaleString  quot en-US quot    hour   2-digit   hour12  false  timeZone   quot America New York quot         09  just the hour   Notice that sometimes to output a date in your specific desire format  you have to find a compatible locale with that format  You can find the locale examples here  https   www w3schools com jsref tryit asp filename tryjsref tolocalestring date all Please notice that locale just change the format  if you want to transform a specific date to a specific country or city time equivalent then you need to use the timezone param
