3function App() {
4  return (
5    <div>
6        {/* example of show yesterday date with format `yyyy-mm-DD` */}
7        {moment().add(-1, 'days').format("yyyy-mm-DD")}
8    </div>
9  );
10}

12export default App;

Note: By default, add() method is used for addition in date that’s why we are passing -1 to get yesterday’s date

In the above program, we call the moment().add(-1, 'days') and format("yyyy-mm-dd") methods to show formated yesterday date.
