angularjs - calculate a date plus one day

Question

I need to get the date one day after another date. I do :

$scope.date2.setDate($scope.date1.getDate()+1);

if   
$scope.date1 = 2015-11-27  

then 
$scope.date2 = 2015-11-28

It s ok,
but when 

$scope.date1 = 2015-12-02

 then 
 $scope.date2 = 2015-11-28 (ie tomorrow)

I don't understand why...

If anyone knows..

why don't you try javascript Date function and add days to it `addDays(1)` rather doing `+1` — super cool, Nov 27 '15 at 10:25
also i will suggest you to create JsFiddle or Stack's inbuilt snippet creator, so people can see the actual problem and provide better solution — Virendra Yadav, Nov 27 '15 at 10:27
I believe @supercool is referring to custom function like in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/563406/add-days-to-datetime cmiiw — Yohanes Gultom, Nov 27 '15 at 10:31
`getDate()` gets the date for today. If you increment it, it will be tomorrow. Everything works as it is supposed. Your logic inside the code is wrong. — cezar, Nov 27 '15 at 10:31
getDate() gives the day number in the month : 2. not the date, I don't understand why. I ve came up with one solution : $scope.date2=new Date($scope.date1.getTime() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000); — user1260928, Nov 27 '15 at 10:36

try this instead efficient simple pure JS

var todayDate = new Date();    
console.log(new Date().setDate(todayDate.getDate()+1));

so you will have that same Date type object and hence you don't need to go with moment.js

Use moment.js for this momentjs

var startdate = "2015-12-02";
var new_date = moment(startdate, "YYYY-MM-DD").add('days', 1);
var day = new_date.format('DD');
var month = new_date.format('MM');
var year = new_date.format('YYYY');
alert(new_date);
alert(day + '.' + month + '.' + year);
