Get localized month name using native JS

rated 0 times [ 34] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 21177 / 8 Years ago, tue, october 11, 2016, 12:00:00

It's possible to do this to get the localized full month name using native javascript.

var objDate = new Date(10/11/2009),

    locale = en-us,

    month = objDate.toLocaleString(locale, { month: long });

But this only gets the month number for a given date. I'd simply like to get the month name corresponding to a month number. For example, if I do getMonth(2) it would return February. How can I implement getMonth using native javascript(no libraries like moment)?
