angular get today

1You can use DatePipe for formatting Date in Angular.
2
3In ts if you want to format date then you can inject DatePipe as Service in constructor like this
4
5import { DatePipe } from '@angular/common';
6
7@Component({
8    templateUrl: './name.component.html',
9    styleUrls: ['./name.component.scss'],
10    providers: [DatePipe]
11})
12
13myDate = new Date();
14constructor(private datePipe: DatePipe){
15    this.myDate = this.datePipe.transform(this.myDate, 'yyyy-MM-dd');
16}
17And if you want to format in html file, 'Shortdate' will return date of type MM/DD/YY
18
19{{myDate | date: 'shortDate' }}
20As of Angular 6, this also works,
21
22import {formatDate} from '@angular/common';
23
24formatDate(new Date(), 'yyyy/MM/dd', 'en');
