how to get datetime in nodejs

To get the current date and time in Node.js, you can use the built-in Date object. Here are the steps to do it:

  1. Create a new instance of the Date object: javascript const currentDate = new Date();

  2. Extract the desired information from the Date object:

  3. To get the current date, you can use the getDate(), getMonth(), and getFullYear() methods: javascript const day = currentDate.getDate(); const month = currentDate.getMonth() + 1; // Note: Months are zero-based const year = currentDate.getFullYear();

  4. To get the current time, you can use the getHours(), getMinutes(), and getSeconds() methods: javascript const hours = currentDate.getHours(); const minutes = currentDate.getMinutes(); const seconds = currentDate.getSeconds();

  5. Format the extracted information as desired:

  6. If you want to display the date and time in a specific format, you can concatenate the extracted information and add any necessary separators. For example, to display the date and time in the format "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS": javascript const formattedDateTime = `${year}-${month}-${day} ${hours}:${minutes}:${seconds}`;

  7. Use the formatted date and time as needed in your application.

That's it! You now have the current date and time in Node.js.
