How to get the current year in JavaScript

Published On: 03/11/2021

To get the current year in JavaScript, we can use the getFullYear() function.

The getFullYear() function works on a date object.

So, to get the current year, we can apply this function on the new date() function like below.

Copy
console.log((new Date()).getFullYear());

// current year will be printed

The new Date() will return today\'s date and getFullYear() will retrieve the four digit year from the date.
