pickaday.js user can select any date from next 15 days only

Question

I'm using pickaday.js. I want the user to only be able to select a date between today and the next 15 dates. I have set current date by using javascript new Date() function but I'm unable to figure out how to set max day to next 15 days only. Please check my code below

HTML

<input value="" id="datepicker" type="text" readonly>

SCRIPT

 var currentDate = new Date();
        var day = currentDate.getDate();
        var month = currentDate.getMonth() + 1;
        var year = currentDate.getFullYear();

 var picker = new Pikaday(
            {
              field: document.getElementById('datepicker'),
              firstDay: 1,
              format: "DD/MM/YYYY",
              minDate: new Date(year, month, day),
              maxDate: new Date(2020, 12, 31)
            });

just set the maxDate like this

maxDate: new Date(currentDate.getTime() + 15 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)

I guess you can do it with setDate :

var minDate = new Date(year, month, day) ;
var maxDate = new Date() ;
maxDate.setDate(minDate.getDate()+15) ;

var someDate = new Date(); 
someDate.setDate(someDate.getDate() + 15)
var picker = new Pikaday({
  field: document.getElementById('datepicker'),
  firstDay: 1,
  format: "DD/MM/YYYY",
  minDate: new Date(),
  maxDate: someDate 
});

That will add 15 days to your calendar.

Thanks for help.. but how to define `someDate`... means how to calculate 15 days from today date – Kamal Feb 08 '16 at 13:08
new Date() gives you todays date. Then we add 15 days to it. – Rich Feb 08 '16 at 13:09
