Results in a string representation of yesterday's date.
|
|
|
|
- Use the `Date` constructor to get the current date.
|
|
- Decrement it by one using `Date.prototype.getDate()` and set the value to the result using `Date.prototype.setDate()`.
|
|
- Use `Date.prototype.toISOString()` to return a string in `yyyy-mm-dd` format.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const yesterday = () => {
|
|
let d = new Date();
|
|
d.setDate(d.getDate() - 1);
|
|
return d.toISOString().split('T')[0];
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
yesterday(); // 2018-10-17 (if current date is 2018-10-18)
|
|
```
