How to get the current year for copyright in JavaScript?

To get the current year for copyright, create a Date object by calling the Date() constructor with no arguments. This will create the current date object. After that, call the getFullYear() method to get the current year.

let now = new Date();
console.log(now); //Tue Feb 22 2022 01:52:14
console.log(now.getFullYear()); //2022

The following example shows how you can insert the current year into an HTML element on the web page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>Homepage</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="header">Header content</div>
    <div id="main-section">Main content</div>
    <div id="footer">
      <p id="copyright"></p>
    </div>
    <script>
      document.getElementById("copyright").innerHTML = `© ${new Date().getFullYear()} Mohit Natani`;
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
