How to get Tomorrow's Date with JavaScript

John on August 27, 2020

Getting tomorrows date seems like something we might need a library to do for us in JavaScript. However, it is possible to get tomorrows date with vanilla JavaScript.

Firstly, create a new Date object.

let tomorrow = new Date();

Then set a new date on the Date object using the setDate method. Inside the setDate method we will get the date from the Date object and increment it by 1.

tomorrow.setDate(tomorrow.getDate() + 1);
console.log(tomorrow);

What's nice about using the above method is JavaScript will handle things like the next day being a new month.
