Hi Friends 👋,

Welcome To Infinitbility! ❤️

To get yesterday date in moment js, pass -1 and days in moment().add() method it will subtract 1 day in current date and return yesterday date.

Just import a moment in your file and use moment().add(-1, 'days') to get yesterday date.

moment().add(-1, 'days')

Example in reactjs

In the following example, we are going to do

1. import the moment package
2. example of show yesterday date with format yyyy-mm-DD

let’s write the code.

import moment from "moment";

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

export 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.

let’s check the output.
