Add Seconds To Date in JavaScript
As an example, we are going to add 15 seconds to a date in the below example.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Title Goes Here</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var date1 = new Date("October 24, 2018 02:20:15");
date1.setSeconds(date1.getSeconds()+15);
document.write(date1);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Here we have used Date object and two methods: setSeconds() and getSeconds()
The output of this Script:
Wed Oct 24 2018 02:20:30 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
I have added 15 seconds with this below line:
date1.setSeconds(date1.getSeconds()+15);
getSeconds() method will fetch the seconds from the Date object. Next, I have used +15 to add an extra 15 seconds to it.
