Incrementing a date in JavaScript

Question

I need to increment a date value by one day in JavaScript.

For example, I have a date value 2010-09-11 and I need to store the date of the next day in a JavaScript variable.

How can I increment a date by a day?

Answer 1

Get the string value of the date using the dateObj.toJSON() method Ref: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toJSON Slice the date from the returned value and then increment by the number of days you want.

var currentdate = new Date();
currentdate.setDate(currentdate.getDate() + 1);
var tomorrow = currentdate.toJSON().slice(0,10);
