date.setDate(1);Problem solved.
Sure, but the question is why anybody thought this would be a desirable behavior in the first place.
I love js. But the date object has always been a total pain. Moment.js is a good package to deal with it, but yeah, it's currently deprecated, but it would be nice if it or something like it became part of ECMAScript.
I have no idea why it hasn't yet, except that it might be that js needs to work for everyone, not just the us. So time is not standard.
The date API is like the original rip of the Java date API. Barely changed, and totally backwards compatible nonsense.
Temporal is the new JavaScript/ECMAScript date API.
It's stage 3, and likely stable (just a few kinks being worked out). So you could polyfill it for production.

Speaking of Java RipS. How annoying is it the JS has left Java in the dust as far as looser standards?

You may be interested in the datefns library if you need a replacement for momentjs.
