Javascript add leading zeroes to date

Question

I\'ve created this script to calculate the date for 10 days in advance in the format of dd/mm/yyyy:

var MyDate = new Date();
var MyDateString = new Date();
M         


        

Answer 1

You could simply use :

const d = new Date();
const day = `0${d.getDate()}`.slice(-2);

So a function could be created like :

AddZero(val){
    // adding 0 if the value is a single digit
    return `0${val}`.slice(-2);
}

Your new code :

var MyDate = new Date();
var MyDateString = new Date();

MyDate.setDate(MyDate.getDate()+10);
MyDateString = AddZero(MyDate.getDate()) + '/' + AddZero(MyDate.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + MyDate.getFullYear();
