How to Subtract a Day from the Current Date in Angular 9

When working with dates in Angular applications, you may find yourself needing to manipulate date objects regularly. One common requirement is to subtract a day from the current date—essentially finding yesterday's date. In this guide, we will walk through a simple method to achieve this in Angular 9 using TypeScript.

Understanding the Problem

In our previous attempt, we were able to obtain the current date, but the requirement now is to subtract one day from this date to get yesterday's date. The key is to handle date manipulations correctly, ensuring we consider the intricacies of different date formats and time zones.

Solution: Subtracting a Day

To perform the task of subtracting a day from the current date in Angular 9, we will use the JavaScript Date object along with Angular's DatePipe for formatting. Below is a breakdown of how to implement this.

Step-by-Step Code Implementation

Here’s how we can create an Angular component to find yesterday's date:

Setup the Component: Create a new Angular component if you haven't already. Let's call it DateComponent.

Import Necessary Modules: Ensure you import the DatePipe from Angular's core module. This will help format the date to a human-readable string.

Implement Logic: Use the following code to achieve the functionality:

Explanation of the Code

Date Handling: In the getYesterday() method, we first instantiate a Date object representing the current date and time.

Subtraction Logic: By calling .setDate(this.today.getDate() - 1), we effectively change the date to one day earlier.

Formatting: We utilize this.datePipe.transform to format the date into a more readable format (e.g., dd-MM-yyyy).

Output

When you run this code, the console will log yesterday's date formatted as specified. This allows you to not only visualize the results in your development tools but also use the formatted output elsewhere in your application.

Conclusion

Manipulating dates in Angular may seem daunting at first, but it can be straightforward once you understand how to leverage JavaScript's built-in capabilities along with Angular's helpful tools. With just a few lines of code, you've learned how to subtract a day from the current date and format it for display. This functionality can be incredibly useful in many real-world applications, from scheduling events to displaying historical data.

Feeding these extensions into your Angular 9 project will undoubtedly enrich the user experience you can provide. Happy coding!
