substract 5 minute from current Date and time javascript

Question

I have problem while substracting time from current date. My Code looks like:

var d = new Date(),
year = d.getUTCFullYear(),
month = ('0'+(d.getUTCMonth()+1)).slice(-2),
day = ('0'+d.getUTCDate()).slice(-2),
hour = ('0'+d.getUTCHours()).slice(-2),
minute = ('0'+d.getUTCMinutes()).slice(-2),
second = ('0'+d.getUTCSeconds()).slice(-2);

var startDate = year+'/'+month+'/'+day+'-'+hour+':'+minute+':'+second;
console.log(startDate);

Answer 1

You can simply use like below

var fiveMinuteAgo = new Date( Date.now() - 1000 * (60 * 5) )
