Adding days to datapicker's formatDate

Question

I am printing date using datepicker this way:

$(".final-date").text($.datepicker.formatDate('dd.mm.yy', new Date()));

I am using it within my loan calculator. How can i add days to a current date? e.g. 17.01.2016, but in my calculator i choose loan period for 10 days, so it should be 27.01.2016

Will this not suffice for what you're looking for? If I've understood it correctly, you simply want to add 10 days to the current value that you have?\http://stackoverflow.com/questions/563406/add-days-to-datetime — Jak Hammond, Jan 17 '16 at 12:03

this should give you the offset date:

new Date(new Date().valueOf() + 1000*60*60*24*days);

so your code would probably become:

$(".final-date").text($.datepicker.formatDate('dd.mm.yy', new Date(new Date().valueOf() + 1000*60*60*24*10);));

or maybe more legibly:

var loanPeriodDays = 10;
var dayInMillis = 1000*60*60*24;
var loadEndDate = new Date(new Date().valueOf() + dayInMillis*loanPeriodDays);
$(".final-date").text($.datepicker.formatDate('dd.mm.yy', loadEndDate));
