The toString()
method of Date
instances returns a string representing this date interpreted in the local timezone.
The toString()
method of Date
instances returns a string representing this date interpreted in the local timezone.
toString()
None.
A string representing the given date (see description for the format). Returns "Invalid Date"
if the date is invalid.
The toString()
method is part of the type coercion protocol. Because Date
has a [@@toPrimitive]()
method, that method always takes priority over toString()
when a Date
object is implicitly coerced to a string. However, Date.prototype[@@toPrimitive]()
still calls this.toString()
internally.
The Date
object overrides the toString()
method of Object
. Date.prototype.toString()
returns a string representation of the Date as interpreted in the local timezone, containing both the date and the time — it joins the string representation specified in toDateString()
and toTimeString()
together, adding a space in between. For example: "Thu Jan 01 1970 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)".
Date.prototype.toString()
must be called on Date
instances. If the this
value does not inherit from Date.prototype
, a TypeError
is thrown.

.const d = new Date(0); console.log(d.toString()); // "Thu Jan 01 1970 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)"
