MongoDB Date() Method
In MongoDB, the Date() method returns a date either as a string or as a Date object.
- When you call it as
Date(), it returns the current date as a string in themongoshell. - When you call it as
new Date(), it returns the current date as a Date object.
You can also provide a specific date as an argument to new Date(), so that it uses that date.

This can be useful for when you want to update a document with the current datetime.
MongoDB $dateFromParts
In MongoDB, the $dateFromParts aggregation pipeline operator constructs and returns a Date object from the date’s constituent parts.
You provide each date part as a separate field.
You can specify your constituent date fields in ISO week date format if required.
MongoDB $dateToParts
In MongoDB, the $dateToParts aggregation pipeline operator returns the date parts of a given date.
More specifically, it returns a document that contains the constituent parts of a given BSON Date value as individual properties.

The $dateToString operator accepts either a Date, a Timestamp, or an ObjectId.

You can optionally specify a timezone to use for the result.
The $millisecond operator accepts either a date (as either a Date, a Timestamp, or an ObjectId), or a document that specifies the date and timezone to use.
