Adding 50 minutes to Date() [duplicate]

Question

What I'm trying to do is to add 50 minutes to the current date I get, so I want to get the date and then get the time and then add 50 minutes. I want to check if I'm doing it the right way:

d = new Date();
dateAfter50min = d.setDate(d.getMinutes() + 50);

Answer 1

If you want to just modify your current date object you can do it by following code

var d = new Date();
console.log(d);
d.setMinutes(d.getMinutes() + 50);
console.log(d);

Answer 2

If you want to create a new Date by adding minutes to an existing the date, you can get the time in milliseconds, and then add the minutes converted to milliseconds - minutes * 60 * 1000:

const d = new Date();
const dateAfter50min = new Date(d.getTime() + 50 * 60 * 1000);

console.log(d);
console.log(dateAfter50min);
