Using toLocaleDateString options

let date = new Date().toLocaleDateString('en-US', {year: 'numeric', month: '2-digit' })

console.log(date)

Hope this helps,

const date = new Date();
const myDate = `${(date.getMonth() + 1)}/${date.getFullYear()}`;
console.log(myDate);

You can use Moment.js, as follows:

moment().format('MM/YYYY')

Moment is a very heavy package so there are other alternative ones. For example, date-fns. You can see a brief comparison in the repository: https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-Momentjs – Aleksei Korkoza Dec 21 '19 at 07:02
moment is easier to use in comparison to other libraries available @AlexeyKorkoza but in the all upto you what you want to use – Mustafa Kunwa Dec 21 '19 at 07:27
I agree with you that the package is easy-to-use but you should think about performance and the size of your bundle as well. – Aleksei Korkoza Dec 21 '19 at 08:28
I agree with you that it's heavy,I tried to use date-fns I felt it was complicated so I choose to stay with moment @AlexeyKorkoza – Mustafa Kunwa Dec 21 '19 at 08:34

import datetime
selecteddate='05/2019'
selecteddate= datetime.datetime.strptime(selecteddate, '%m/%Y')
today_dtime= datetime.datetime.now()
today_dtime.date()>selecteddate.date()

output:True One thing note down month and year will assign as in selecteddate,But date will be 1st of respected month. try this simple trick

You can use the following logic to compare your selected date with today's date

const selectedDate="05/2019"; // MM/YYYY
const today = new Date();
const todayString = `${(today.getMonth() + 1)}/${today.getFullYear()}`;
const matched = ( todayString === todayString );
console.log("Does your selected date matched with today's date ?",(matched ? "Matched":"Don't Matched"));

This won't work reliably as it doesn't pad single digit months, so in May will compare "05/202" with "5/2020". Also `( todayString === todayString )` will always return true (and the brackets are redundant). – RobG Dec 21 '19 at 08:54
Thanks, @RobG , to bring my attendance to that area. – kuldipem Dec 24 '19 at 05:44
