How to show date without time with Date()

Question

I’m mounting a date to be displayed in an input, this will be today’s date less a day, but I need only the date and is showing me Date and Time, how can I do?

What I got so far is this:

var Hoje = new Date();
Hoje.setDate(Hoje.getDate() - 1);
var Today = Hoje.toLocaleString();
var Today = Today.replace(new RegExp("/", 'g'),"-" );
editors['DataIndice'].setValue(Today);

Answer 1

I would do so:

 var data = new Date().toLocaleString().substr(0, 10)

 console.log(data)

But it’s important to report that when I used this, it didn’t work very well in Internet Explorer (as expected).

In any case, I always recommend using the library Momentjs

Example:

var data = moment().format('DD/MM/YYYY');



console.log(data);

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.19.2/moment.min.js"></script>

To lessen a day in the moment, you can use the method add

var date = moment().add(-1, 'days').format('DD/MM/YYYY');


console.log(date);

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.19.2/moment.min.js"></script>

Answer 2

var Hoje = new Date();
Hoje.setDate(Hoje.getDate() - 1);
//string apenas de data em um formato determinado pelo browser
var Today = Hoje.toDateString();
// string apenas de data no formato localizado do seu sistema
var Today2 = Hoje.toLocaleDateString();

var dataTracinho = Today2.replace(new RegExp("/","g"), "-"); 

console.log (Today);
console.log (Today2);
console.log (dataTracinho);

I tested with the 6 main browsers, Chome, IE, Edge Firefox, Opera

and Safari

For all browsers you can use Datejs see one clicking here

<script type="text/javascript" src="date.js"></script>
<script language="javascript">
   var d1 = Date.parse('today');;
   document.write(d1.toString('dd-MM-yyyy'));
</script>
