Get current date in javascript, format: day, date month

Question

How can I get the date in javascript format: day, date month example: Friday, 12 March

This gives me 12/3

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <script>    
    var d = new Date();
     
    var date = d.getUTCDate();
    var month = d.getUTCMonth() + 1; // Since getUTCMonth() returns month from 0-11 not 1-12

     
    var dateStr = date + "/" + month;
    document.write(dateStr);
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Either use a locale specific format, i.e. (new Date()).toLocaleDateString('en-US', { weekday:'long', day: 'numeric', month:'long', }) which gives you 'Friday, March 12' or build your custom format by formatting each individual field as you want. — user9706

This uses locale date's formate.

const date = new Date();
var options = {
  weekday: 'long',
  month: 'long',
  day: 'numeric'
};

console.log(date.toLocaleDateString("default", options));

Or use date.toLocaleDateString('en-US', options)
