![[Solved]-How to add minutes in Date Object using javascript](https://www.appsloveworld.com/wp-content/themes/dnfinder-mygridlove-theme-master/assets/img/gridlove_default.jpg)
Ashok PatelAs we know that JavaScript’s Date object does not have any additional or subtract function for performing calculation between two date objects.So that I have simply written a function that can do this:
Approach-1
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Adding hours-JavaScript</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
Date.prototype.addHours = function (h) {
this.setTime(this.getTime() + (h * 60 * 60 * 1000));
return this;
}
//to test this function c
document.write(new Date().addHours(4));
</script>
</body>
</html>Approach-2
Using .getMinutes() to get the current minutes of Date Object ,then add minutes and use .setMinutes() to update the current date object.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Adding hours-JavaScript</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
var currentdate = new Date();
currentdate.setMinutes(currentdate.getMinutes() + 20);
alert(currentdate);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Now we can easily able Add hours to JavaScript Date object using above two function.Let take some exmaple.

var currentdate = new Date();
currentdate.setMinutes(currentdate.getMinutes() + 20);

alert(currentdate);- How to add 30 minutes to a JavaScript Date object?
