JavaScript how to get tomorrows date in format dd-mm-yy

Question

I am trying to get JavaScript to display tomorrows date in format (dd-mm-yyyy)

I have got this script which displays todays date in format (dd-mm-yyyy)

Answer 1

The below uses a combination of Roderick and Phil's answers with two extra conditionals that account for single digit months/days.

Many APIs I've worked with are picky about this, and require dates to have eight digits (eg '02022017'), instead of the 6 or 7 digits the date class is going to give you in some situations.

function nextDayDate() {
      // get today's date then add one
      var nextDay = new Date();
      nextDay.setDate(nextDay.getDate() + 1);

      var month = nextDay.getMonth() + 1;
      var day = nextDay.getDate();
      var year = nextDay.getFullYear();

      if (month < 10) { month = "0" + month } 
      if (day < 10) { day = "0" + day }

      return month + day + year;
}

Answer 2

The same as the original answer, but in one line:

var tomorrow = new Date(Date.now() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)

The numbers stand for 24 hours 60 minutes 60 seconds 1000 milliseconds.

Method 1: If you don't have problem in using other library, then this could work for you using moment.js

moment().add('days', 1).format('L');

Method 2: Using Date.js,

<script type="text/javascript" src="date.js"></script>    
var tomorrow = new Date.today().addDays(1).toString("dd-mm-yyyy"); 

This method uses external library and not the native Date library. As my bootstrap-datetimepicker was using moment.js and native date library, I preferred method 1. This question mentions these and some other methods.

Answer 4

Use cases :

Date.tomorrow() // 1 day next 
Date.daysNext(1) // alternative Date.tomorrow()
Date.daysNext(2) // 2 days next. 

IF "tomorrow " is not depend of today but of another Date different of Date.now(), Don't use static methods but rather you must use non-static :

i.e: Fri Dec 05 2008

 var dec5_2008=new Date(Date.parse('2008/12/05'));
 dec5_2008.tomorrow(); // 2008/12/06
    dec5_2008.tomorrow().day // 6
    dec5_2008.tomorrow().month // 12
    dec5_2008.tomorrow().year //2008
 dec5_2008.daysNext(1); // the same as previous
 dec5_2008.daysNext(7) // next week :)

API :

Dateold=Date;function Date(e){var t=null;if(e){t=new Dateold(e)}else{t=new Dateold}t.day=t.getDate();t.month=t.getMonth()+1;t.year=t.getFullYear();return t}Date.prototype.daysNext=function(e){if(!e){e=0}return new Date(this.getTime()+24*60*60*1e3*e)};Date.prototype.daysAgo=function(e){if(!e){e=0}return Date.daysNext(-1*e)};Date.prototype.tomorrow=function(){return this.daysNext(1)};Date.prototype.yesterday=function(){return this.daysAgo(1)};Date.tomorrow=function(){return Date.daysNext(1)};Date.yesterday=function(){return Date.daysAgo(1)};Date.daysNext=function(e){if(!e){e=0}return new Date((new Date).getTime()+24*60*60*1e3*e)};Date.daysAgo=function(e){if(!e){e=0}return Date.daysNext(-1*e)}

        //alert(DateFilter);

        var date = new Date();
        y = date.getFullYear(), m = date.getMonth();
        var EndDate = new Date();



        switch (DateFilter) {
            case 'today': var StartDate = EndDate;   //todays date                 
                break;
            case 'yesterday':
                var d = new Date();
                var previousDate = new Date(d.getTime() - 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
                var StartDate = new Date(previousDate.yyyymmdd()); //yesterday Date
                break;
            case 'tomorrow':
                var d = new Date();
                var NextDate = new Date(d.getTime() + 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
                var StartDate = new Date(NextDate.yyyymmdd()); //tomorrow Date
                break;
            case 'thisweek': var StartDate = getMonday(new Date()); //1st date of this week
                break;
            case 'thismonth': var StartDate = new Date(y, m, 1);  //1st date of this month
                break;
            case 'thisyear': var StartDate = new Date("01/01/" + date.getFullYear());  //1st date of this year
                break;
            case 'custom': //var StartDate = $("#txtFromDate").val();                   
                break;
            default:
                var d = new Date();
                var StartDate = new Date(d.getTime() - 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000); //one month ago date from now.
        }


        if (DateFilter != "custom") {
            var SDate = $.datepicker.formatDate('@Config.DateFormat', StartDate); $("#txtFromDate").val(SDate);
            var EDate = $.datepicker.formatDate('@Config.DateFormat', EndDate); $("#txtToDate").val(EDate);
        }

        Date.prototype.NextDay = function (e) {
        return new Date(this.getFullYear(), this.getMonth(), this.getDate() + ("string" == typeof e ? parseInt(e, 10) : e));
    }

    // tomorrow
    console.log(new Date().NextDay(1))

    // day after tomorrow
    console.log(new Date().NextDay(2))
