"*…but it did not work*" is not helpful. What result did you get? What error messages were in the console? What result did you expect? — RobG, Jun 18 '17 at 12:38

You can do it like that : (sorry Will I can't edit your code because the change is less than 6 characters...)

function AddMinutesToDate(date, minutes) {
  return new Date(new Date(date).getTime() + minutes * 60000);
}   

alert(AddMinutesToDate('2017-06-16', 1010));

`new Date('2017-06-16')` will be treated as UTC, likely the OP wants local. – RobG Jun 17 '17 at 13:17

This function will accept ISO format and also receives minutes as parameter.

function addSomeMinutesToTime(startTime, minutestoAdd) {
  const dateObj = new Date(startTime);
  const newDateInNumber = dateObj.setMinutes(dateObj.getMinutes() + minutestoAdd);
  const processedTime = new Date(newDateInNumber).toISOString();
  console.log(processedTime)
  return processedTime;
}
addSomeMinutesToTime(("2019-08-06T10:28:10.687Z"), 1010 )

You were pretty close. Just a couple of errors.

function AddMinutesToDate(date, minutes) {
  return new Date(new Date().getTime() + minutes * 60000);
}

alert(AddMinutesToDate('2017-06-16', 1010));

You're not using the date parameter – myfunkyside Jun 16 '17 at 22:29
