i have a start date string "20.03.2014" and i want to add 5 days to this with moment.js but i don't get the new date "25.03.2014" in the alert window.
here my javascript Code:
startdate = "20.03.2014";
var new_date = moment(startdate, "DD-MM-YYYY").add("DD-MM-YYYY", 5);
alert(new_date);
here my jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/jbgUt/1/
How can i solve this ?
I like this string format "25.03.2014"
Hope someone can help me.

As of moment 2.8.4 - use .add(5, 'd')
(or .add(5, 'days')
) instead of .add('d', 5)
var new_date = moment(startdate, "DD-MM-YYYY").add(5, 'days');
Thanks @Bala for the information.

This is what you'd have to do to get that format.
Here's an updated fiddle
startdate = "20.03.2014";
var new_date = moment(startdate, "DD-MM-YYYY").add('days', 5);
var day = new_date.format('DD');
var month = new_date.format('MM');
var year = new_date.format('YYYY');
alert(day + '.' + month + '.' + year);
ORIGINAL: March 20, 2014
You're not telling it how/what unit to add. Use -
var new_date = moment(startdate, "DD-MM-YYYY").add('days', 5);
The function add() returns the old date, but changes the original date :)
startdate = "20.03.2014";
var new_date = moment(startdate, "DD.MM.YYYY");
new_date.add(5, 'days');
alert(new_date);
moment(moment('2015/04/09 16:00:00').add(7, 'd').format('YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm:mm'))
has to format and then convert to moment again.
You can add days in different formats:
// Normal adding
moment().add(7, 'days');
// Short Hand
moment().add(7, 'd');
// Literal Object
moment().add({days:7, months:1});
See more about it on Moment.js docs: https://momentjs.com/docs/#/manipulating/add/
var end_date = moment(start_date).clone().add(5, 'days');
You can reduce what they said in a few lines of code:
var nowPlusOneDay = moment().add('days', 1);
var nowPlusOneDayStr = nowPlusOneDay.format('YYYY-MM-DD');
alert('nowPlusOneDay Without Format(Unix Date):'+nowPlusOneDay);
alert('nowPlusOneDay Formatted(String):'+nowPlusOneDayStr);
To get an actual working example going that returns what one would expect:
var startdate = "20.03.2014";
var new_date = moment(startdate, "DD.MM.YYYY");
var thing = new_date.add(5, 'days').format('DD/MM/YYYY');
window.console.log(thing)
- add https://momentjs.com/downloads/moment-with-locales.js to your html page
var todayDate = moment().format('DD-MM-YYYY');//to get today date 06/03/2018 if you want to add extra day to your current date
then
var dueDate = moment().add(15,'days').format('DD-MM-YYYY')// to add 15 days to current date..
point 2 and 3 are using in your jquery code...
