Temporal.ZonedDateTime.prototype.monthCode
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The monthCode
accessor property of Temporal.ZonedDateTime
instances returns a calendar-specific string representing the month of this date. It is calendar-dependent.
Usually it is M
plus a two-digit month number. For leap months, it is the previous month's code followed by L
(even if it's conceptually a derivative of the following month; for example, in the Hebrew calendar, Adar I has code M05L
but Adar II has code M06
). If the leap month is the first month of the year, the code is M00L
.
The set accessor of monthCode
is undefined
. You cannot change this property directly. Use the with()
method to create a new Temporal.ZonedDateTime
object with the desired new value.
For general information and more examples, see Temporal.PlainDate.prototype.monthCode
.
Examples
Using monthCode
const date = Temporal.ZonedDateTime.from("2021-07-01[America/New_York]"); // ISO 8601 calendar
console.log(date.monthCode); // "M07"
console.log(date.month); // 7
