How to Get Tomorrow’s Date Using JavaScript

Are you wondering how to get tomorrow’s date using JavaScript? It’s actually quite simple! In this blog post, I’ll show you a quick and easy way to accomplish this task using JavaScript’s Date object.

Recently, I had a situation where I needed to retrieve tomorrow’s date in my JavaScript code. After some experimentation with the Date object’s getDate() and setDate() methods, I found the solution.

To get tomorrow’s date, follow these steps:

First, obtain today’s date by creating a new Date object using the new Date() syntax.
Next, use the setDate() method to add 1 to the current day value.
That’s it! You now have tomorrow’s date.

By calling setDate() and passing the result of <today>.getDate() + 1, you can set the day as “tomorrow”. This method takes care of edge cases as well. For instance, if the current day is the last day of the month (e.g. 31st), the month will change, and the day will be set to the first day of the new month or year if it’s December 31st.

Here’s an example code snippet that demonstrates how to get tomorrow’s date:

1
2
3

const today = new Date();
const tomorrow = new Date(today);
tomorrow.setDate(tomorrow.getDate() + 1);

In this code, the today variable stores the current date, and tomorrow is a new Date object representing tomorrow’s date. Note that the time remains the same - it reflects the moment when the code was executed, increased by 24 hours.

If you also want to reset the time to “tomorrow at 00:00:00”, you can accomplish this by calling the setHours(0,0,0,0) method on the tomorrow object.

By following these steps, you can easily obtain tomorrow’s date in JavaScript. Whether you need it for scheduling tasks or manipulating dates in your application, this method will come in handy.
