How to Subtract Dates in React: A Simple Guide

Working with dates in JavaScript can often be a tricky task, especially when it comes to displaying data in a user-friendly way. A common requirement in many applications is to calculate the difference between two dates. In this post, we’ll tackle a specific problem: how to subtract a specific date from today’s date in a React application, and display the number of days between them.

The Problem

Imagine you are working on a React application where you need to manage transfusion data, and you want to show how many days have passed since a transfusion occurred. You have a date in the format 2020-07-15T13:29:15.524486Z which represents when a transfusion was created. You also have today’s date formatted like Wed Jul 22 2020 10:57:59 GMT+ 0300 (East Africa Time). The challenge here is to develop a piece of logic that will subtract the transfusion date from the current date and display the resulting number of days.

The Solution

We’ll break down the solution into manageable steps. The main goal is to calculate the number of days that have passed between the two dates.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Get Today's Date: We can use JavaScript's Date object to acquire the current date.

Parse the Transfusion Date: We’ll convert the string date format into a JavaScript Date object.

Calculate the Difference: To find the difference in days, we will take the difference between the two dates.

Display the Result: Finally, we will show the calculated number of days in our React component.

Example Code

Here’s a simple code snippet that demonstrates how to accomplish this in React:

Explanation of the Code

Function daysBetween: This function takes in a date string, converts it to a Date object, and calculates the difference in days from today.

Time Difference Calculation: The difference between the two dates in milliseconds is calculated and then converted to days by dividing by 1000 * 3600 * 24.

Integrating with the UI: The calculated number of days is displayed alongside the transfusion data in a table.

Conclusion

Managing and manipulating dates in React doesn’t have to be complicated. By breaking down the problem and applying simple calculations, you can effectively show time differences, which enhance user experience.
