Moment get current date

Question

How to get current date using the Moment library? Not timestamp, but date. So please don't refer to that timestamp question already to be found.

I know how to get it in regular javascript, but I need a moment object with current date.

What about timezone, how to get current date in certain timezone?

Doesn't that refer to another library? One cannot do it with regular moment library? — Ville Miekk-oja, Aug 16 '16 at 18:37
I did read documentations before asking this. But couldn't find it with a quick look. — Ville Miekk-oja, Aug 16 '16 at 18:40

Just call moment as a function without any arguments:

moment()

For timezone information with moment, look at the moment-timezone package: http://momentjs.com/timezone/

Didn't find duplicate for this. I could be wrong that it exists. Could you provide one? And please, one for momemt.js! – Ville Miekk-oja Aug 16 '16 at 18:37

moment().toDate() will return actual Date object. – greenskin Jan 18 '18 at 10:16

Actually it is not correct answer, because you call for moment js without arguments, it create object as "datetime", and not "date". In this case comparison `moment('[current date, 12/04/2019]').isSameOrAfter(moment())` will return incorrect result – degr Dec 04 '19 at 15:03
