How to get the month name in JavaScript
Wednesday, October 1, 2025
Converting numeric months to readable month names is crucial for user-friendly date displays, reports, and calendar interfaces.
As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented month name formatting in numerous date pickers and dashboard components across different languages.
From my expertise, the most modern and localization-friendly solution is to use toLocaleDateString()
with the month option.
This approach provides automatic localization support and eliminates the need for hardcoded month arrays.
