JavaScript Tutorial » Date » Date constructors 




Constructors:

var variable = new Date();
    var variable = new Date(milliseconds1);
    var variable = new Date(string)
    var variable = new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds2)
milliseconds1The desired date is calculated from the number of milliseconds between midnight January 1, 1970 GMT and the desired date.
stringThe desired date is calculated from the string representation. The format of the string should match the parse() method of the Date object.
yearA four digit representation of the year.
monthThe month represented as an integer, where 0 represents January and 11 represents December.
dayThe day of the month represented as an integer from 1 to 31. Optional argument.
hoursThe hour represented as an integer where 0 represents 12 am (midnight) and 23 represents 11 pm. Optional argument.
minutesThe minutes in the hour represented as an integer from 0 to 59. Optional argument.
secondsThe seconds in the minute represented as an integer from 0 to 59. Optional argument.
milliseconds2The milliseconds in the second represented as an integer from 0 to 999. Optional argument.


If arguments are provided when creating the Date object, the new object will contain the date specified. Otherwise the object will be set to the current date.

A Date object can also be created by calling Date as a function by excluding the new operator.
