To manipulate JavaScript’s Date object, you can either use get or set method and properties. For example, to set hours or to get minutes in JavaScript.
Once a Date object is created, a number of methods allow you to operate on it. Most methods simply allow you to get and set the year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond fields of the object, using either local time or UTC (universal, or GMT) time.
