Discussion
The getParts method of the date variable returns the assorted parts of a date. The parts return can be limited by passing is a scope.
The default scope is "all", which will return all the parts of the date. A value of "year" will only return the year values of a given date. A value of "month" will return the year and month values. A value of "date" will return the year, month, week and day values, but not the time. A value of "time" will return only the time values.
Example
var d = new Date(2018,7,10,12,34);
var p = d.getParts('month');
// p = {

// "value": 2018,
// "isLeap": false,
// "weeks": 52,
// "days": 365
