If you want to find the first and last day of the current month:
Date
object by calling the Date()
constructor with no arguments.getMonth()
method.getFullYear()
method.new Date(currentYear, currentMonth, 1)
new Date(currentYear, currentMonth + 1, 0)
let d = new Date(), currentYear = d.getFullYear(), currentMonth = d.getMonth(); let firstDay = new Date(currentYear, currentMonth, 1); let lastDay = new Date(currentYear, currentMonth + 1, 0); console.log(firstDay.toString()); //Tue Feb 01 2022 console.log(lastDay.toString()); //Mon Feb 28 2022
You might notice why 0 is passed to the Date() object. The reason for this is that the Date class automatically adjusts the value of month and date based on the values passed to it. As 0 does not exist in the month, 0 will be changed to the previous month's last day, and the month is reduced by 1.
The best thing about the steps mentioned in this tutorial is that you don't have to remember whether the month has 28, 29, 30, or 31 days.
