Elegant method to generate array of random dates within two dates

Question

I have a datepicker where I show two months and I want to randomly choose 3 dates in each visible month

  $(\'.date\').datepicker({
    minDate: new Date(),         


        

Answer 1

Maybe I am missing something, but isn't this it?

function randomDate(start, end) {
    return new Date(start.getTime() + Math.random() * (end.getTime() - start.getTime()));
}

randomDate(new Date(2012, 0, 1), new Date())
