JavaScript wrong timestamp formatting [duplicate]

Question

I'm currently trying to format a timestamp in JavaScript. Sadly, the result is a bit strange. This is the date I'm trying to format:

Thu May 23 2019 17:34:18 GMT+0200 (Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit)

And this is how it should looks like after formatting it:

23.05.2019

This is my code:

j = myDateString;
console.log(j.getUTCDate() + "." + j.getUTCMonth() + "." + j.getUTCFullYear());

But when I run my code, this is the result:

23.4.2019

Answer 1

getUTCMonth() starts from 0 (January), fix it by adding one.

console.log(j.getUTCDate() + "." + (j.getUTCMonth() + 1) + "." + j.getUTCFullYear());
