How to get the current date in JQuery?

 jQuery is a JavaScript library, and to get the current date in JavaScript, you can use the built-in Date object. Here's an example of how to get the current date in JavaScript using the Date object:

javascript
var currentDate = new Date();

To format the date as a string in a specific format, you can use the toLocaleDateString() method of the Date object, which converts the date to a string using the browser's locale settings. For example, to get the current date in the format "dd/mm/yyyy", you can do:

javascript
var currentDate = new Date();
var dateString = currentDate.toLocaleDateString('en-GB'); // en-GB is the locale for United Kingdom
console.log(dateString); // Output: "09/04/2023"

Note that the format of the date string returned by toLocaleDateString() may vary depending on the browser's locale settings. You can also use third-party libraries such as Moment.js to format dates in JavaScript.
