Answer 1

You need to use getFullYear()

and then generate new Date

var d = new Date(2012, 7, 25);
d.setFullYear(d.getFullYear() - 1);

Answer 2

Use this :

 var date = new Date();
 var intYear = date.getFullYear() - 1;

Answer 3

this solution will help.

new Date(new Date().setFullYear(new Date().getFullYear() - 1));

Answer 4

var today = new Date();
var curyear = today.getFullYear();
var curyearMonth = today.getMonth() + 1;
var curyearDay = today.getDate();
var lastYear = curyear - 1;
if ((curyearMonth == 2) && (curyearDay == 29)) {
    curyearDay = 28;
}

var lastYearDisplay = ("0000" + lastYear.toString()).slice(-4) + "-" + ("00" + curyearMonth.toString()).slice(-2) + "-" + ("00" + curyearDay.toString()).slice(-2);
alert("LastWeekDate : " + lastYearDisplay);

Answer 5

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}`;

Answer 6

var date = CALC.today(); //(function in my dev-enviro - gives today's date)
var year = formatDate(date, 'yyyy'); //year is 2016
year = parseInt(year);               //make sure '2016' becomes an integer
year = year -1;                      // var year is now: 2015.

//its been a while, but that's what I did from memory.
