How to get the full date with javascript?

Question

I am trying to get the full date with my function. Right now my results are "Wed Feb 14 2018", but I would like it to say "Wednesday February 2018". I want it to say the whole day and whole month. I could not find a "get fullDate" method unfortunately..

window.onload = function() {
  var date = new Date();

  document.getElementById("date").innerHTML = date.toDateString();
}

<div id="date"> </div>

You're actually looking for the toLocaleString function, as it can be customized pretty heavily without losing your date object.

window.onload = function() {
  var date = new Date();

  document.getElementById("date").innerHTML = date.toLocaleString('en-US', {weekday: 'long', month: 'long', year: 'numeric'});
}

<div id="date"> </div>
