The getFullYear()
method in JavaScript is used to get the four-digit year for the specified date according to local time.
Here is an example of how to use the getFullYear()
method:
const date = new Date();
const year = date.getFullYear();
console.log(year); // output: 2022 (assuming it is currently 2022)
You can also pass a date as an argument to the Date
constructor to get the year for a specific date:
const date = new Date('January 1, 2021');
const year = date.getFullYear();
console.log(year); // output: 2021
Note that the getFullYear()
method returns the year in the local timezone. If you want to get the year in a specific timezone, you can use the getUTCFullYear()
method instead.
For example:
const date = new Date();
const utcYear = date.getUTCFullYear();
console.log(utcYear); // output: 2022
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
