The following are the JavaScript code examples to increment a date by 1 day using the setDate() and getDate() methods.
The JavaScript method setDate() sets the day of the date object.
Syntax
dateObj.setDate(dayValue)Example 1. Increment Date by 1 Day in JavaScript
// Current date is 25th March 2020
var currDate = new Date();
console.log('Today the date is '+ currDate);
// now increment it by 1 day
currDate.setDate(currDate.getDate() + 1);
console.log('Tomorrow the date is '+ currDate);Output
Today the date is Wed Mar 25 2020 16:28:58 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time) Tomorrow the date is Thu Mar 26 2020 16:28:58 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
Example 2. Increment Date by 1 Day Using For-Loop
// Current date is 25th March 2020
var currDate = new Date();
// Increment for 2 days and print including today's date
for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
console.log(currDate);
currDate.setDate(currDate.getDate() + 1);
}Output
Wed Mar 25 2020 16:47:32 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time) Thu Mar 26 2020 16:47:32 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time) Fri Mar 27 2020 16:47:32 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
Example 3. Increment Date and Print in DD/MM/YYYY Format
// Current date is 25th March 2020
var currDate = new Date();
for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
var dd = currDate.getDate();
var mm = currDate.getMonth()+1;
var yyyy = currDate.getFullYear();
if(dd<10)
{
dd='0'+dd;
}
if(mm<10)
{
mm='0'+mm;
}
var vDate = dd+'/'+mm+'/'+yyyy;
console.log(vDate);
currDate.setDate(currDate.getDate() + 1);
}Output
25/03/2020 26/03/2020 27/03/2020
Example 4. Increment Date by 1 Day and Print in MM/DD/YYYY Format
// Current date is 25th March 2020

var mm = currDate.getMonth()+1;
var yyyy = currDate.getFullYear();
if(dd<10)
{
dd='0'+dd;
}
if(mm<10)
{
mm='0'+mm;
}
var vDate = mm+'/'+dd+'/'+yyyy;
console.log(vDate);
currDate.setDate(currDate.getDate() + 1);
