Subtract days from a date in JavaScript

Answer 1

Use MomentJS.

function getXDaysBeforeDate(referenceDate, x) {
  return moment(referenceDate).subtract(x , 'day').format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a');
}

var yourDate = new Date(); // let's say today
var valueOfX = 7; // let's say 7 days before

console.log(getXDaysBeforeDate(yourDate, valueOfX));
