The native JavaScript Date library is very, well, _lightweight_, so libraries such as js-joda can help.
Once a native date is converted to a js-joda one, with a little (unnecessary?!) help:
const { LocalDate } = require("js-joda")
const nativeDate = new Date()
// https://stackoverflow.com/a/32274316/85662
const localDate = LocalDate.parse(new Date().toISOString().split("T")[0])
... you can start to take advantage of its powerful features:
const { TemporalAdjusters } = require("js-joda")
localDate.with(TemporalAdjusters.firstDayOfMonth())
This can be serialised back to a standard JavaScript date object as needed:
const { convert } = require("js-joda")
convert(localDate).toDate()
