How to get month in mm format in JavaScript?

To get month in mm format in JavaScript, we can use the date’s getMonth and string’s padStart methods.

For instance, we write:

const mm = (new Date(2022, 1, 1).getMonth() + 1).toString().padStart(2, '0')
console.log(mm)

to create a new date set to Feb 1, 2022.

We get the month number from the date with getMonth

And we add 1 to it to convert it to a human readable month number.

Therefore, mm is '02'.
