To get the current year, we can use the getFullYear() method from the global Date object in JavaScript.
TL;DR
// Make an instance or object of the Date constructor
const currentDate = new Date();
// get the current year
const year = currentDate.getFullYear();
console.log(year); // 2021
First, let's make an object (or instance) from the global Date constructor using the new keyword like this,
// Make an instance or object of the Date constructor
const currentDate = new Date();
Now we can use the getFullYear() method from the currentDate object to get the year number like this,
// Make an instance or object of the Date constructor
const currentDate = new Date();
// get the current year
const year = currentDate.getFullYear();
console.log(year); // 2021
Yay, We successfully got the year 🎉!
See the above code live in JSBin.
That's all 😃!
