Moment is not adding day

Question

I have the following javascript:

const to = moment(item.to);
const toNextDay = to.add(1, 'days');

item.to is a string that has the following format:

"2020-06-30T00:00:00"

But is not adding the next day, that would be "2020-07-01T00:00:00"

This is the Function:

  private getCurrentRecord(records: ConfigRecord[]) {
    let result: string = null;
    for (let index = records.length - 1; index >= 0; index--) {
      const item = records[index];

      if (item.from && item.to) {

        const from = moment(item.from);
        const to = moment(item.to).add(1, 'days');
        const today = moment();
        console.log(today.format());
        if (from <= today && today < to) {
          result = item.value;
          break;
        }
      }
    }
    return result;
  }

Try this one:

const to = moment("2020-06-30T00:00:00");
const toNextDay = moment(to.add(1, 'days').toDate());

As moment is modifying the original moment object, either use toString() or toDate() to get the modified date.

const to = moment("2020-06-30T00:00:00");
const toNextDay = moment(to.add(1, 'days').toDate());
console.log('In local time => ', toNextDay.toString());

const toUTC = moment.utc("2020-06-30T00:00:00");
const toNextDayUTC = moment.utc(toUTC.add(1, 'days').toDate());
console.log('In UTC => ', toNextDayUTC.toString());

Check the rest of the code because this part is correct

const to = moment("2020-06-30T00:00:00")

//undefined

to.format()

//"2020-06-30T00:00:00+02:00"

const nextDay = to.add(1, "day")

//undefined

nextDay.format()

//"2020-07-01T00:00:00+02:00"

to.format()

//"2020-07-01T00:00:00+02:00"

A little warning, Moment.add() mutates the moment so after to.add(1, "day") to and nextDay are the same date, 2020-07-01. Use to.clone().add(1, "day") if you don't want to lose the original moment

Try the following. Parse the string using moment's second argument then use add() to add the specified number of days

var input = "2020-06-30T00:00:00";
let addDay = moment(input, "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss").add(1, "days");
console.log(addDay.format("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss"));
