In this post, we'll learn how to get the current year in JavaScript.
The best way to get the current year is to use the getFullYear()
method.
This method is defined on the Date
object which comes native with JavaScript.
This means that you can use this method both in the browser and in server-side JavaScript like Node and Deno.
To get the current year, you can use the following code:
JAVASCRIPTconst date = new Date();
const currentYear = date.getFullYear();
console.log(currentYear);
BASH2022
The getFullYear()
method returns the current year in four digits. The method supports year values from 1000 to 9999.

in the browser.
