In this article, we will see how to print tomorrow's date in string representation using JavaScript.

To achieve this, we use the Date object and create an instance of it. After that by using the setDate() method, we increase one date to the present date. Now by using the getDate() method you will get tomorrow's date. Now to convert that date to the string we use the string template literals, getFullYear, getMonth, padStart methods. Below is the implementation of this:

Example: In this example, we will get tomorrow's date in the string format.

JavaScript 
<script>
    const tomorrow = () => {
    
        // Creating the date instance
        let d = new Date();
    
        // Adding one date to the present date
        d.setDate(d.getDate() + 1);
    
        let year = d.getFullYear()
        let month = String(d.getMonth() + 1)
        let day = String(d.getDate())
    
        // Adding leading 0 if the day or month
        // is one digit value
        month = month.length == 1 ? 
            month.padStart('2', '0') : month;
    
        day = day.length == 1 ? 
            day.padStart('2', '0') : day;
    
        // Printing the present date
        console.log(`${year}-${month}-${day}`);
    }
    
    tomorrow()
</script>

Output:

"2022-12-31"

Example 2: In this example, we will get the already given date into the string format.

JavaScript 
<script>
    const tomorrow = (dt) => {
    
        // Creating the date instance
        let d = new Date(dt);
    
        // Adding one date to the present date
        d.setDate(d.getDate() + 1);
    
        let year = d.getFullYear()
        let month = String(d.getMonth() + 1)
        let day = String(d.getDate())
    
        // Adding leading 0 if the day or month
        // is one digit value
        month = month.length == 1 ? 
            month.padStart('2', '0') : month;
    
        day = day.length == 1 ? 
            day.padStart('2', '0') : day;
    
        // Printing the present date
        console.log(`${year}-${month}-${day}`);
    }
    
    tomorrow("2020-12-31")
    tomorrow("2021-02-28")
    tomorrow("2021-4-30")
</script>

Output:

"2021-01-01"
"2021-03-01"
"2021-05-01"

Note: Enter the date in yyyy-mm-dd format.
