JavaScript Date Formatting: Convert to yyyy-mm-dd Format with Ease!

 To format a JavaScript date as yyyy-mm-dd (e.g., 2023-05-17), you can use the following code:

function formatDate(date) {
  const year = date.getFullYear();
  const month = String(date.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
  const day = String(date.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');
  return `${year}-${month}-${day}`;
}

// Example usage
const date = new Date();
const formattedDate = formatDate(date);
console.log(formattedDate);

In this code, the formatDate function takes a Date object as input and returns the formatted date string in the desired format. It retrieves the year, month, and day components from the Date object and pads single-digit month and day values with a leading zero if necessary. Finally, it concatenates the components using the desired format pattern (yyyy-mm-dd) and returns the formatted string.

You can replace the new Date() part in the example usage with any Date object you want to format, or you can pass a specific date to the formatDate function.
