How do I subtract minutes from a date in javascript?

Question

How can I translate this pseudo code into working js [don\'t worry about where the end date comes from except that it\'s a valid javascript date].

var myEndD         


        

Answer 1

moment.js has some really nice convenience methods to manipulate date objects

The .subtract method, allows you to subtract a certain amount of time units from a date, by providing the amount and a timeunit string.

var now = new Date();
// Sun Jan 22 2017 17:12:18 GMT+0200 ...
var olderDate = moment(now).subtract(3, 'minutes').toDate();
// Sun Jan 22 2017 17:09:18 GMT+0200 ...
