How to add days to Date?
date, javascript
Solution
You can create one with:-
Date.prototype.addDays = function(days) {
var date = new Date(this.valueOf());
date.setDate(date.getDate() + days);
return date;
}
var date = new Date();
console.log(date.addDays(5));
This takes care of automatically incrementing the month if necessary. For example:
8/31 + 1 day will become 9/1.
The problem with using `setDate` directly is that it's a mutator and that sort of thing is best avoided. ECMA saw fit to treat `Date` as a mutable class rather than an immutable structure.
Problem
How to add days to current `Date` using JavaScript? Does JavaScript have a built in function like .NET's `AddDay()`?
