How to create array of dates starting from today to next six dates?

Question

I want an array of dates starting from today to next six days, so it must contain an object representing the which day like monday.. and date in 2-dgit number

const date = new Date();
let option = {
    weekday: 'long',
    day: '2-digit'
};
let date_details = date.toLocaleDateString('en-US', option).split(' ');
let dataslot = [
    {
        day: date_details[0], //'Wednesday',
        date: date_details[1] //'29'
    }
];

This is an example for one day, but i expect till next 6 six days

How do i get the next six days from today in that format ?

Answer 1

To generate an array of dates starting from today to the next six days with each object representing the day of the week and the date in two-digit format, you can use the following approach:

const date = new Date();
let options = {
    weekday: 'long',
    day: '2-digit'
};
let dataslot = [];

// Function to add days to the current date
function addDays(date, days) {
    let result = new Date(date);
    result.setDate(result.getDate() + days);
    return result;
}

// Loop to create the array of date objects for the next 6 days
for (let i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
    let nextDate = addDays(date, i);
    let dateDetails = nextDate.toLocaleDateString('en-US', options).split(' ');
    dataslot.push({
        day: dateDetails[0], // 'Wednesday',
        date: dateDetails[1]  // '29'
    });
}
console.log(dataslot)
