How to return a Date format when I use setDate()

I assigned the weekEnd as the current end of the week like this

this.weekEnd = new Date(this.currentDate.setDate(end));

Next, what I want is to give a new value to the weekEnd which is the weekEnd + 7 days. I've done it like below but I can't assign the new value to the weekEnd because the right side returns a Number and not date.

this.weekEnd = this.weekEnd.setDate(this.weekEnd.getDate() + 7);

If you guys have any idea how I can do it I would appreciate it. Thanks a lot!

Just use the .setDate() method without the assignment:

this.weekEnd.setDate(this.weekEnd.getDate() + 7);

.setDate() does two things:

  1. It changes the current Date object to the new date.
  2. Returns the number of milliseconds of that new date since 1 Jan 1970.

In your code you assigned this number to the variable that would have held the correct date anyway.

Try this. It will return 15th Jun and 21st June. If you remove +1 then it will start from sunday. To start from monday you have to add 1.

let current = new Date;
let firstday = new Date(current.setDate(current.getDate() - current.getDay()+1));
let lastday = new Date(current.setDate(current.getDate() - current.getDay()+7));
