14 May 2015

A simple Javascript helper function to extract 2 least significant digits from a number. E.g.

-> 14,  
-> 04,  
-> 98

var d = new Date();
// d = Thu May 14 2015 17:31:45 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)
 
function formatData(inp) {
    return ("00" + inp).slice(-2);
}
 
formatData(d.getDate())   // "14"
formatData(d.getMonth())  // "04"
formatData(d.getYear())   // "15"
