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