I'm trying to add 3 days to a random date but instead it seems as though I'm adding a month.
var d = new Date(2021, 9, 14);
var currentTime = d.getTime();
var daysToAdd = 3;
var secondsInADay = 86400;
var d = new Date(currentTime + daysToAdd * secondsInADay);
var year = d.getFullYear();
var month = ("0" + (d.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);
var day = ("0" + d.getDate()).slice(-2);
console.log('result is:' + year + '-' + month + '-' + day);You're multiplying by the number of seconds in a day, but you need to multiply by the number of milliseconds in a day, as shown below:
var d = new Date(2021, 9, 14);
var currentTime = d.getTime();
var daysToAdd = 3;
var milisecondsInADay = 86400000;
var d = new Date(currentTime + daysToAdd * milisecondsInADay);
var year = d.getFullYear();
var month = ("0" + (d.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2);
var day = ("0" + d.getDate()).slice(-2);
console.log('result is:' + year + '-' + month + '-' + day);Try this :
var d = new Date(2021, 9, 14) ;
var daysToAdd = 3;
Date.prototype.addDays = function(days) {
var date = new Date(this.valueOf());
date.setDate(date.getDate() + days);
return date;
}
console.log(date.addDays(daysToAdd));
