Add days to a date in javascript
shiftDay = 10
var myDate = new Date();
myDate.setDate(myDate.getUTCDate() + shiftDay)
day = myDate.getUTCDate()
month = myDate.getUTCMonth()*1 + 1
year = myDate.getUTCFullYear()
This code is quite easy:
- shiftDay hold the number of days you want to add, if you need to go backwards you can set it to a negative value.
- myDate is set to the current date
- At the end we will have the data we need in day, month and year.
- getUTCMonth return the current month shifted back by one (January is 0, February is 1 and so on) that's why we add 1. We multiply the value returned by getUTCMonth by one to cast it to integer.
