Adding days to Date in javascript / typescript gives completely wrong date
21,820
You have a problem with types. If days
is 14, then it will yield 16th August correctly. However, if days
is "14", then it will yield 2nd of March.
Solution:
addDays(date: Date, days: number): Date {
console.log('adding ' + days + ' days');
console.log(date);
date.setDate(date.getDate() + parseInt(days));
console.log(date);
return date;
}

I have this very simple code, and it works sometimes but other times it gives the complete wrong date:
addDays(date: Date, days: number): Date { console.log('adding ' + days + ' days'); console.log(date); date.setDate(date.getDate() + days); console.log(date); return date; }
Here is an example of the output:
Works!
