# $.date.now

To get current date or date in right now, we can use now method with/without date format on the argument. This now method is the same as `Date.now()` or `new Date().toString()`.

```
// without an argument
$date.now()
//=> Sun Apr 04 2021 11:21:14 GMT+0700

// with date format in argument
$date.now('DD-MM-YYYY')
//=> 04-04-2021
```
