How to subtract 7 days from current date with Moment.js

I would like to subtract 7 days from current date to get formatted date YYYY-MM-DD using moment.js library.

I tried to do by this way:

dateTo = moment(new Date()).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
dateFrom = moment(new Date() - 7).format('YYYY-MM-DD');

console.log(dateFrom);
console.log(dateTo);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.29.4/moment.min.js"></script>

But all returned values are same.

You can use:

moment().subtract(1,'w')

to subtract one week (7 days) from the current date.

NOTE:
1. w for week
2. d for days
3. M for month
4. y for year

The question is outdated so does the solution.

Using Moment v2.29 +

You can add or subtract days using following ways

moment().day(-7); // last Sunday (0 - 7)
moment().day(0); // this Sunday (0)
moment().day(7); // next Sunday (0 + 7)
moment().day(10); // next Wednesday (3 + 7)
moment().day(24); // 3 Wednesdays from now (3 + 7 + 7 + 7)

For more please refer the official documentation https://momentjs.com/docs/#/get-set/

May be:

dateTo = moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD');
dateFrom = moment().subtract(7,'d').format('YYYY-MM-DD');

moment#subtract

The date object, when casted, is in milliseconds. so:

dateFrom = moment(Date.now() - 7 * 24 * 3600 * 1000).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
