An integer number, between 0 and 11, representing the month in the given date according to local time. 0 corresponds to Farvardin, 1 to February, and so on.

Examples

Using getMonth() The second statement below assigns the value 11 to the variable month, based on the value of the Date object mon9.

var mon9 = new SHDate("Dey 25, 1390 23:15:30");
var month = mon9.getMonth();

console.log(month); // 11

Note: If needed, the full name of a month (Farvardin for example) can be obtained by using Intl.DateTimeFormat() with an options parameter. Using this method, internationalization is made easier:

var options = { month: "long" };
console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat("en-US", options).format(mon9));
// Esfand
console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat("de-DE", options).format(mon9));
// Dezember
