How to get simple date (“Month Number”)?

Question

Im trying to get the date, but im wanting to to return ex ”Oct 29”. Ive tryed using split, but it changes everyday. Heres what I have so far.

Let date = Date().split(“ 2021”)[0];

This returns day<string> month day<int>

That dosnt exsist It just give an error `Date().getMonth() is not a function` — Monke, Oct 29 '21 at 16:18
it is a method [Date.prototype.getMonth()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/getMonth) but you have to call `new Date()` not `Date()` — pilchard, Oct 29 '21 at 16:20

You can format it there are various inbuilt methods or do this:

Let date = Date().toString().substring(4,10);

You can use the toLocaleString function to achieve what you want. This code below will generate the output you wanted ("Oct 29").

let date = new Date().toLocaleString('en-US', { month: 'short', day: 'numeric' });
