Answer 1

I would recomend the dateFormat module (moment.js is deprecated). Firstly, install the module as follows - always back up your work with Git beforea adding unknown dependencies of course

npm i dateformat

Then call:

//Import Module
let dateFormat = require('dateformat');

//Instantiate New Date & then call func and parse date.
let date = new Date();
var currDate = dateFormat(date, "yyyy, dddd, mmmm dS, h:MM:ss TT");

You could then use currDate to update a field etc.
