How to extract values from an HTML date input with JavaScript?

To extract values from an HTML date input with JavaScript, we can add a change event listener to the date input.

Then we can get the input value from the e.target.value property in the event listener.

For instance, we write:

<input type="date" />

to add an input.

Then we write:

const input = document.querySelector('input')
input.onchange = (e) => {
  console.log(e.target.value)
}

to select an input.

Then we set the input.onchange property to a function that logs the e.target.value, which is the selected date string.

The selected date will be a ISO-8601 format string.
