Add 30 days to date (mm/dd/yy)

Question

I have a date in the format mm/dd/yy and want to add 30 days to it. I am just curious the best method to do this? I am new to javascript so examples would be he

Answer 1

A simple way to get it done is to send the timestamp value in the Date constructor. To calculate 30 days measured in timestamp:

30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000

Then, you need the current timestamp:

Date.now()

Finally, sum both values and send the result as a param in the constructor:

var nowPlus30Days = new Date(Date.now() + (30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
