Add 10 Seconds To A Date

Answer :

There's a setSeconds method as well:

var t = new Date(); t.setSeconds(t.getSeconds() + 10); 

For a list of the other Date functions, you should check out MDN

setSeconds will correctly handle wrap-around cases:

var d; d = new Date('2014-01-01 10:11:55'); alert(d.getMinutes() + ':' + d.getSeconds()); //11:55 d.setSeconds(d.getSeconds() + 10); alert(d.getMinutes() + ':0' + d.getSeconds()); //12:05

// let timeObject = new Date(); // let milliseconds= 10 * 1000; // 10 seconds = 10000 milliseconds timeObject = new Date(timeObject.getTime() + milliseconds); 

Just for the performance maniacs among us.

getTime

var d = new Date('2014-01-01 10:11:55'); d = new Date(d.getTime() + 10000); 

5,196,949 Ops/sec, fastest

setSeconds

var d = new Date('2014-01-01 10:11:55'); d.setSeconds(d.getSeconds() + 10); 

2,936,604 Ops/sec, 43% slower

moment.js

var d = new moment('2014-01-01 10:11:55'); d = d.add(10, 'seconds'); 

22,549 Ops/sec, 100% slower

So maybe its the least human readable (not that bad) but the fastest way of going :)
