Answer 1

formattedDate = fromDate.getFullYear() + "-" + (fromDate.getMonth()+1) + "-" + fromDate.getDate()

如果你只需要字符串

Answer 2

var year = fromDate.getFullYear();
var month = fromDate.getMonth() < 10 ? '0'+ fromDate.getMonth()+1 : fromDate.getMonth()+1

var date =  fromDate.getDate() < 10 ? '0'+ fromDate.getDate(): fromDate.getDate()
