JavaScript - add minutes to date
0 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to add minutes to date in JavaScript.
In this example, we create a simple function that takes two arguments:
date
to which we want to add some minutes,minutes
- a number of minutes we want to add.
Runnable example:
xxxxxxxxxx
1
const addMinutes = (date, minutes) => {
2
const result = new Date(date);
3
result.setMinutes(result.getMinutes() + minutes);
4
return result;
5
};
6
7
let date = new Date('2021-08-30T23:59:00.000Z');
8
9
console.log(addMinutes(date, 2).toISOString()); // 2021-08-31T00:01:00.000Z
Output:
xxxxxxxxxx
1
2021-08-31T00:01:00.000Z
Note:
As you can see, the function also handles the case of the day change.
In this example, we add a function to the Date.prototype
so we can use it on any date object.
xxxxxxxxxx
1
Date.prototype.addMinutes = function (minutes) {
2
let date = new Date(this.valueOf());
3
date.setMinutes(date.getMinutes() + minutes);
4
return date;
5
};

7
let date = new Date('2021-08-30T23:59:00.000Z');

9
console.log(date.addMinutes(2).toISOString()); // 2021-08-31T00:01:00.000Z
Output:
xxxxxxxxxx
