How to get yesterday’s date in JavaScript?
To get the yesterday date, first of all get the current date and subtract 1 from the current and use the function setDate(). The syntax is as follows −

var currentDate = new Date();
console.log("The current date="+currentDate);
var yesterdayDate = currentDate.setDate(currentDate.getDate()- 1);
console.log("The yesterday date ="+new Date(yesterdayDate));To run the above program, you need to use the following command −
