Moment JS - how to subtract 7 days from current date?

Question

I would like to subtract 7 days from current date to get formatted date YYYY-MM-DD using moment.js library.

I tried to do by this way:

    dateTo = moment(new Date()).format('YYYY-MM-DD');     dateFrom = moment(new Date() - 7).format('YYYY-MM-DD');     console.log(dateFrom);    console.log(dateTo); 

But all returned values are same.

Answer 1

May be:

dateTo = moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD'); dateFrom = moment().subtract(7,'d').format('YYYY-MM-DD'); 

moment#subtract

Answer 2

The date object, when casted, is in milliseconds. so:

dateFrom = moment(Date.now() - 7 * 24 * 3600 * 1000).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
