Get todays date

Simple demo outputting today's date. Note: a hash page is rendered once and served from the cache, so new Date() shows the date the page was rendered - not today. Use the current date in API functions, which are not cached.

Example

Data

{
    "MyDateField": "2001-01-01"
}

Code Dates.hash

<b>Today:</b>
#{
    let today = new Date();
    write(format(today, "dd.MM.yyyy"));
}#


<b>Convert from string to date:</b>
#{
    let somedate = new Date(MyDateField);
    write(format(somedate, "dd.MM.yyyy"));
}#

Output

<b>Today:</b>
02.11.2026

<b>Convert from string to date:</b>
01.01.2001
