JavaScript adding minutes to date [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to add 3 minutes to the time but instead of adding to the time, it instead acted like they're two strings and added them together like they're strings. What am I doing wrong?

var minutes = 3;
console.log(date.getTime() + (minutes * 60 * 1000));

Answer 1

To add minutes simply use the setMinutes method:

var date = new Date(/* whatever */);
var minutes = 3;
date.setMinutes(date.getMinutes() + minutes);
console.log(date)

Answer 2

It should be new Date()

console.log(new Date().getTime() + 3*60*100)

Answer 3

This should help

var minutes = 3;

let newDate = new Date().getTime() + (minutes * 60 * 1000);
console.log(new Date(newDate).toLocaleTimeString())

Answer 4

const now = Date.now();
const threeMinutesFromNow = now + 3 * 60 * 1000;
console.log(`now: ${new Date(now).toLocaleTimeString()}`);
console.log(`3m from now: ${new Date(threeMinutesFromNow).toLocaleTimeString()}`);
