How to add 30 minutes to a JavaScript Date object?

Question

I\'d like to get a Date object which is 30 minutes later than another Date object. How do I do it with JavaScript?

Answer 1

I feel many of the answers here are lacking a creative component, very much needed for time travel computations. I present my solution for a temporal translation of 30 minutes.

(jsfiddle here)

function fluxCapacitor(n) {
    var delta,sigma=0,beta="ge";
    (function(K,z){

        (function(a,b,c){
            beta=beta+"tT";
            switch(b.shift()) {
                case'3':return z('0',a,c,b.shift(),1);
                case'0':return z('3',a,c,b.pop());
                case'5':return z('2',a,c,b[0],1);
                case'1':return z('4',a,c,b.shift());
                case'2':return z('5',a,c,b.pop());
                case'4':return z('1',a,c,b.pop(),1);
            }
        })(K.pop(),K.pop().split(''),K.pop());
    })(n.toString().split(':'),function(b,a,c,b1,gamma){
       delta=[c,b+b1,a];sigma+=gamma?3600000:0; 
       beta=beta+"im";
    });
    beta=beta+"e";
    return new Date (sigma+(new Date( delta.join(':')))[beta]());
}
