get the date 5 months ago in typescript

To get the date 5 months ago in TypeScript, you can use the Moment.js library. Here's an example code snippet:

index.ts
import moment from 'moment';

const dateFiveMonthsAgo = moment().subtract(5, 'months').toDate();
console.log(dateFiveMonthsAgo);
129 chars
5 lines

Here, we import the moment library and use its subtract() method to get the date 5 months ago from the current date. The toDate() method is then used to convert the date object to a Date instance. The result is then logged to the console.

If you're not using Moment.js, you can also achieve this using plain JavaScript Date objects:

index.ts
const today = new Date();
const dateFiveMonthsAgo = new Date(today.getFullYear(), today.getMonth() - 5, today.getDate());
console.log(dateFiveMonthsAgo);
154 chars
4 lines

Here, we create a new Date() instance for today's date, and then create a new date object for 5 months ago using the getFullYear() and getMonth() methods. We simply subtract 5 from the current month to get the equivalent month 5 months ago. Finally, we log the date object to the console.
