date.toLocaleDateString ("fr-CA") would have got you there, but yea agreed 0 indexed months are whack.
I'm sure you've read the docs since then but just for the viewers at home:
s/getYear/getFullYear
s/getDay/getDate
getYear is oldfashioned, years since 1900. getDay is day-of-the-week, 0 for Sunday, 1 for Monday, etc
- cookie_monsta 5y ago> 0 indexed months are whack Why, if everything else in JS is 0 indexed? Isn't consistency a good thing in a language? If they'd gone the other way, wouldn't there be people here complaining that 1 indexing is whack?

- jazzyjackson 5y agoWell because days are returned 1-indexed and calendars in general are 1-indexed, but of course the internal 'getMonth' method isn't meant to be a calendar, it's meant to provide an array index to ["January", "February", ...] as an interface to the other methods of printing a human-readable form.
