This is the Function that Determined the current Date and Time
var min = new Date().getMinutes(); //To get the Current Minutes
var hours = new Date().getHours(); //To get the Current Hours
var date = new Date().getDate(); //To get the Current Date
var month = new Date().getMonth() + 1; //To get the Current Month
var year = new Date().getFullYear(); //To get the Current Year
This is where the Const with the If Statement i
const monthInLetters = (month) => {
if (month== '3'){ return ('January')}
};
And then it gets rendered in this Text box
<Text style={{color: 'white' fontSize: 40}}>{date}, {month} {monthInLetters}, {year}</Text>
I want it to check the month of the year in numbers and then convert that to the month as a string? How would I do that?
You don't need to "check the month of the year in numbers and then convert that to the month as a string" - you can just use toLocaleString, e.g.
const date = new Date();
const month = date.toLocaleString('default', { month: 'long' });
console.log(month);Also there is no need to create a new date object for each part of the date. e.g.
var date = new Date()
var min = date.getMinutes(); //To get the Current Minutes
var hours = date.getHours(); //To get the Current Hours
var date = date.getDate(); //To get the Current Date
var month = date.getMonth() + 1; //To get the Current Month
var year = date.getFullYear(); //To get the Current Year
Answering as you said it doesn't work
const monthInLetters = (month) => {
let months = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'];
return months[month - 1];
};
