Java Get First LocalDate of Current Month

Tags: Java LocalDate DateUtil

In this Java tutorial, we learn how to get the first day of current month and return it as a LocalDate object in Java programming language.

How to get first LocalDate of current month in Java

Firstly, we create a new Java class named DateUtil, and implement a new static method named getFirstLocalDateOfCurrentMonth(), in this new method we follow these steps as below.

  • Step 1: get today date using the LocalDate.now() method.
  • Step 2: get the first day of current month based on today date using the LocalDate.withDayOfMonth(int dayOfMonth) method.

DateUtil.java 

import java.time.LocalDate;

public class DateUtil {

    /**
     * This method to get first day of current month and return as a LocalDate object.
     * @return the first LocalDate object of current month.
     */
    public static LocalDate getFirstLocalDateOfCurrentMonth() {
        LocalDate today = LocalDate.now();
        LocalDate firstDayOfMonth = today.withDayOfMonth(1);
        return firstDayOfMonth;
    }
}

In the following example Java code, we learn how to use the above getFirstLocalDateOfCurrentMonth() static method to get the first day of current month as a LocalDate object in Java program.

GetFirstLocalDateOfCurrentMonthExample.java 

import java.time.LocalDate;

public class GetFirstLocalDateOfCurrentMonthExample {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        // Get First LocalDate of Current Month
        LocalDate firstDayOfMonth = DateUtil.getFirstLocalDateOfCurrentMonth();

        System.out.println("Today: " + LocalDate.now());
        System.out.println("First day of current month: " + firstDayOfMonth);
    }
}
The output as below. 
Today: 2022-08-20
First day of current month: 2022-08-01

Happy Coding 😊
