JS for Date one year from now

Hey Jan!

To grab the date one year from today you can use the Date object provided by the javascript standard library along with some of the functions that are provided out of the box.

new Date(new Date().setFullYear(new Date().getFullYear() + 1))

> Sun Jun 28 2020 15:38:25 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)

Because in your case you are looking for a more refined date you might want to go with something like:

var date = new Date();
date.getMonth() + " " + date.getDate() + " " + (date.getFullYear() + 1);

> "5 28 2020”

Now its time to convert your numbered month into a string:

var months = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
  "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
];

var date = new Date();

months[date.getMonth()] + " " + date.getDate() + " " + (date.getFullYear() + 1);

> "June 28 2020”

I see there is one more requirement here which is adding the suffix to the day of the week. We will use a function for this.

var months = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
  "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
];

var date = new Date();

function day_suffix(day) {
    var j = day % 10,
        k = day % 100;
    if (j == 1 && k != 11) {
        return day + "st";
    }
    if (j == 2 && k != 12) {
        return day + "nd";
    }
    if (j == 3 && k != 13) {
        return day + "rd";
    }
    return day + "th";
};

months[date.getMonth()] + " " + day_suffix(date.getDate()) + " " + (date.getFullYear() + 1);

> "June 28th 2020"

Hope this helps 🙂

Cheers
