Question

I’m trying to write to the console events together with the current time and date, but the time does not change with events. How can I update the variable of time every second?

var cde = function(){
    var dte=new Date(),
        mce=dte.getMonth()+1,
        day=dte.getDate(),
        hrs=dte.getHours(),
        mns=dte.getMinutes(),
        sec=dte.getSeconds();
if(mce<10){mce='0'+mce}
    if(day<10){day='0'+day}
    if(hrs<10){hrs='0'+hrs}
    if(mns<10){mns='0'+mns}
    if(sec<10){sec='0'+sec}

return 
'['+day+'.'+mce+'.'+dte.getFullYear()+'::'+hrs+':'+mns+':'+sec+']';

}

Create a new date every time you make a log.
When you make a date in JS…

var date = new Date();

… no matter how many times you call date, it’s still going to be equal to the exact millisecond it was created (based on the user’s system-clock).

Wrap what you’ve got there in a function, instead of an immediately-invoked function, and call it.

console.log( cde() /*, stuff */ );
