How to access Months Array in Javascript and jQuery

You can create an array containing the names of the months and access specific months using their list.

Using Javascript

Here’s an example of how you can do this in Javascript:

javascript code snippet:
const months = [
  "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
  "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
];
// or
const months2 = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul","Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"];

// Accessing months using indices (0-based)
const firstMonth = months[0];  // January
const sixthMonth = months[5];  // June


Using jQuery

The code snippet below shows how to do it in jQuery:

jquery code snippet:
<!-- Include jQuery -->
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script>

  $(document).ready(function() {
    const months = [
      "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
      "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
    ];

    // Accessing months using indices (0-based)
    const firstMonth = months[0];  // January
    const sixthMonth = months[5];  // June

    console.log(firstMonth);
    console.log(sixthMonth);
  });
</script>
