Calling current date in a function

Question

I have a function call getPassportExpiryDate:

     function getPassportExpiryDate() {
         return new Date(2019, 8, 17);
      }

I want (2019, 8, 17) to be dynamic instead of static date, according to the current date.

So basically you just want to return current date? If that is so, just `return new Date()` should do the trick. — Asteriscus, Feb 21 '19 at 08:47
As per your code, I can guess that you don't want the current date as the expiry date of the passport may be fixed, Do you want to calculate the expiry date from the current date? — Rohit Ghotkar, Feb 21 '19 at 08:51

Just call new Date(), don't pass anything inside your Date object.
