Answer 1

React Answer

Some of the Javascript commands are not available in React like getDate(). Also, I find it better to change dates to Unix timestamps so I can compare dates more easily in database searches using a simple mathematical greater than search.

const nowPlus30Days = new Date(Date.now() + (30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)).getTime() / 1000;

I can compare this to today:

const today = new Date().getTime() / 1000 
(1595237050.184)
