The dateNow() method of java.time.chrono.IsoChronology class is used get the current local date according to Iso calendar system from the system clock in the specified time zone.
Syntax:
public LocalDate dateNow(ZoneId zone)
Parameter: This method takes the object of zone id as a parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the local date according to Iso calendar system from the specified clock object.
Below are the examples to illustrate the dateNow() method:
Example 1:
// Java program to demonstrate // dateNow() method import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
try {
// creating and initializing LocalDate Object
LocalDate hidate = LocalDate.now();
// getting IsoChronology used in LocalDate
IsoChronology crono = hidate.getChronology();
// creating and initializing ZoneId object
ZoneId id = ZoneId.systemDefault();
// getting LocalDate for the
// given zoneid object
// by using dateNow() method
LocalDate date = crono.dateNow(id);
// display the result
System.out.println( "LocalDate is: "
+ date);
}
catch (DateTimeException e) {
System.out.println( "passed parameter can"
+ " not form a date" );
System.out.println( "Exception thrown: " + e);
}
}
} |
Output:
LocalDate is: 2020-03-08
Example 2:
// Java program to demonstrate // dateNow() method import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
try {
// creating and initializing LocalDate Object
LocalDate hidate = LocalDate.now();
// getting IsoChronology used in LocalDate
IsoChronology crono = hidate.getChronology();
// creating and initializing ZoneId object
ZoneId id = ZoneId.of( "Europe/Paris" );
// getting LocalDate for the
// given zoneid object
// by using dateNow() method
LocalDate date = crono.dateNow(id);
// display the result
System.out.println( "LocalDate is: "
+ date);
}
catch (DateTimeException e) {
System.out.println( "passed parameter can"
+ " not form a date" );
System.out.println( "Exception thrown: " + e);
}
}

Output:
LocalDate is: 2020-03-08
