How to print 14 days ago based off current date using Javascript

Question

I'm currently using this to print the current date:

let date = (( new Date()).getMonth()+ 1 ) +  "-" + ( new Date()).getDate() + "-" + ( new Date()).getFullYear()

console.log(date)

I want to be able to print the date fourteen days ago using a similar format. Can this be done using javascript?

Does this answer your question? [Subtract days from a date in JavaScript](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1296358/subtract-days-from-a-date-in-javascript) — Dr. Acula, May 04 '20 at 19:31
I believe a date 14*24 hours would be ok. It would just need to work when going back to the previous month. Also would be nice if it was in "MM-DD-YYYY" — joseph, May 04 '20 at 19:42

You can use Momentjs for that :

let calculatedDate = moment().add(-14, 'day').format("M-DD-YYYY")

document.querySelector('h3').innerHTML = calculatedDate

<script src="https://momentjs.com/downloads/moment-with-locales.js"></script>
