MomentJS is a very popular JavaScript library used to get formatted date strings. Might be your best friend.

However, if you're looking to do it with plain JavaScript, this method should work:

const today = new Date();

const mm = today.getMonth() + 1; // getMonth() is zero-based
const dd = today.getDate();

const todayFormatted = [today.getFullYear(),
        (mm>9 ? '' : '0') + mm,
        (dd>9 ? '' : '0') + dd
       ].join('');
// date in YYYYMMDD
