How would I go about retrieving the `release_date`

Question

How would I go about retrieving the release_date and then removing everything from that except the year, in the example it would be 2022

There is MULTIPLE results that would need this so... im clueless on how to approach this.

Code:

const endpoint = `https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=${apikey}&language=en-US&page=1`;

const fetchMovies = (endpoint) => {
  fetch(endpoint)
    .then((result) => result.json())
    .then((result) => {
      console.log([...result.results]);
    });
};

fetchMovies(endpoint);

Example of output:

[
  {
    adult: false,
    backdrop_path: '/8pgKccb5PfE1kWB9qqiXJem83VC.jpg',
    genre_ids: [ 28, 53 ],
    id: 522016,
    original_language: 'en',
    original_title: 'The 355',
    overview: 'A group of top female agents from American, British, Chinese, Columbian and German  government agencies are drawn together to try and stop an organization from acquiring a deadly weapon to send the world into chaos.',
    popularity: 1276.737,
    poster_path: '/uQt2dJFMnJmAp9zLAWNfGilK0BW.jpg',
    release_date: '2022-01-05',
    title: 'The 355',
    video: false,
    vote_average: 6.1,
    vote_count: 261
  }
]

Answer 1

Use getFullYear(). If output = result.results then try this:

// output = result.results;
output = [
  {
    adult: false,
    backdrop_path: '/8pgKccb5PfE1kWB9qqiXJem83VC.jpg',
    genre_ids: [ 28, 53 ],
    id: 522016,
    original_language: 'en',
    original_title: 'The 355',
    overview: 'A group of top female agents from American, British, Chinese, Columbian and German  government agencies are drawn together to try and stop an organization from acquiring a deadly weapon to send the world into chaos.',
    popularity: 1276.737,
    poster_path: '/uQt2dJFMnJmAp9zLAWNfGilK0BW.jpg',
    release_date: '2022-01-05',
    title: 'The 355',
    video: false,
    vote_average: 6.1,
    vote_count: 261
  }
]

const res = output.map((movie) => {
    movie.release_date = new Date(movie.release_date).getFullYear();
    return movie;
});
console.log(res);
