Calculates the date of `n` days ago from today as a string representation.
|
||||
|
||||
- Use the `Date` constructor to get the current date.
|
||||
- Use `Math.abs()` and `Date.prototype.getDate()` to update the date accordingly and set to the result using `Date.prototype.setDate()`.
|
||||
- Use `Date.prototype.toISOString()` to return a string in `yyyy-mm-dd` format.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const daysAgo = n => {
|
||||
let d = new Date();
|
||||
d.setDate(d.getDate() - Math.abs(n));
|
||||
return d.toISOString().split('T')[0];
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
daysAgo(20); // 2020-09-16 (if current date is 2020-10-06)
|
||||
```
