In this article, we will show the list of available JavaScript date functions that work on dates and times. We can use these built-in functions to get or set dates and times. Apart from this, we can use these date methods to convert the date and time or part of them to a string format in a human-readable format. Among the list, use the regular function (without UTC) for the local time zone and UTC functions for the Coordinated Time zone.
