Learn how to work with core JavaScript Date Properties



Hello guys! how you all doing today? Welcome to my new tutorial post on JavaScript. In the last tutorial, we talked about the ultimate guide to JavaScript Date object and i used a table to list out the Date properties available in JavaScript.

So like i made mention in my last tutorial post, i will be using some examples to illustrate how these Date properties can be implemented. We have only two Date properties available in JavaScript and i will start this tutorial with the Date constructor property.



Date constructor Property

JavaScript date constructor property returns a reference to the array function that created the instance's prototype.

Syntax

Its syntax is as follows -

date.constructor

Return Value

Returns the function that created this object's instance.

Example

You can try the following example below.

<html>
     <head>
          <title>JavaScript Date constructor Property</title>
     </head>

     <body>
          <script  type ="text/javascript">
               var  dt = new Date();
               document.write("dt.constructor is : "  +  dt.constructor );      
          </script>
     </body>
</html>   

Output

Below is the output of the above example.

dt.constructor is  :  function  Date()  { [native code] }



Object Prototype

The prototype property allows you to add properties and methods to any object(Number, Boolean, String and Date etc.).

Note - Prototype is a global property which is available with almost all the objects.

Syntax

Its syntax is as follows -

object.prototype.name = value

Example
Try the following example below

<html>
     <head>
          <title>User-defined objects</title>
          <script type = "text/javascript">
               function  book(title,  author)  {
                    this.title = title; 
                    this.author = author; 
               }
          </script>
     </head>

     <body>
          <script  type ="text/javascript">
               var  myBook = new book("Java",   "Kennedy");
               book.prototype.price = null; 
               myBook.price = 300;

               document.write("Book title is : " + myBook.title + "<br />" );            
               document.write("Book author is : " + myBook.author + "<br />" );       
               document.write("Book price is : " + myBook.price + "<br />" );
          </script>
     </body>
</html>   

Output
Below is the output of the above example.

Book title is :  Java
Book author is :  Kennedy
Book price is :  300
