📘 JavaScript Date Get Methods – Extracting Date and Time Values

JavaScript provides a variety of methods to get parts of a Date object, such as the year, month, day of the week, time, etc.

You must first create a Date object using new Date() to use these methods.

🔹 Common Date Get Methods

Method Description Example Output
getFullYear() Returns the 4-digit year 2025
getMonth() Returns month (0–11) → January is 0 6 for July
getDate() Returns day of the month (1–31) 10
getDay() Returns day of week (0–6), where Sunday is 0 4 for Thursday
getHours() Returns hours (0–23) 14 for 2 PM
getMinutes() Returns minutes (0–59) 45
getSeconds() Returns seconds (0–59) 30
getMilliseconds() Returns milliseconds (0–999) 874
getTime() Returns timestamp (milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970) 1752196800000
getUTCFullYear() Returns year in UTC time 2025
getTimezoneOffset() Returns difference in minutes between UTC and local -330 (for IST)

🔹 Example

let d = new Date("2025-07-10T14:45:30");

console.log(d.getFullYear());       // 2025
console.log(d.getMonth());          // 6 (July)
console.log(d.getDate());           // 10
console.log(d.getDay());            // 4 (Thursday)
console.log(d.getHours());          // 14
console.log(d.getMinutes());        // 45
console.log(d.getSeconds());        // 30
console.log(d.getMilliseconds());   // 0
console.log(d.getTime());           // 1752199530000
console.log(d.getTimezoneOffset()); // Example: -330 for IST
