How to determine one year from now in Javascript

Question

I\'m trying to get one year from now\'s date, and it\'s not working.

JS:

var now = new Date();

var oneYr = new Date();
oneYr.setYear(now.getYear() +         


        

Answer 1

Use setFullyear as others have posted but be aware this returns a timestamp value not a date object. It is also a good candidate imho to add functionality via the prototype. This leads us to the following pattern:

Date.prototype.addYears = function(n) {
    var now = new Date();
    return new Date(now.setFullYear(now.getFullYear() + n));
};

console.log('Year from now is', new Date().addYears(1));
