How do you display the current date in javascript

You can use new Date() to generate a new Date object containing the current date and time. For example, let's display the current date in mm/dd/yyyy

javascript
  var today = new Date();
  var dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, "0");
  var mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, "0"); //January is 0!
  var yyyy = today.getFullYear();

  today = mm + "/" + dd + "/" + yyyy;
  document.write(today);
