Answer 1

you can define a new date or an existing date as d variable

var d = new Date();

then you can put date, month and year to the new date string using ${variableName}, Also you must add 1 to d.getMonth() and substract 1 from d.getFullYear()

var previousYearDate = `${d.getDate()}-${d.getMonth() + 1}-${d.getFullYear() - 1}`;
