how to get month from date in javascript? [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to get month from my date variable.

date=Date.now();

console.log(date); 
>>2019-12-04T08:55:48.972Z

I want to get the month from this date but when I'm using getMonth(), I'm getting error.

console.log(date.getMonth());
error:- getMonth is not a function

Date.now() returns a number, I'm surprised you're getting a string result in your first code block — Nick Parsons

You can try this

let date= new Date();

console.log(date.getMonth());

let date= new Date('2019-10-04T08:55:48.972Z');

console.log(date.getMonth()+1);

You need date object for this.

Try this:

let date = new Date();

console.log(date.getMonth()+1)

Try to remove the .now. It should be date = new Date();
