Is there a better way of getting the next "whole" Date by second?

[lloydjatkinson]

I'd like to get the next minute (as in, current date + 1 minute) but without the seconds.

This is what I've come up with. Is there a better solution? roundToNearestMinutes isn't suitable for this because it can round down to the current date/time.

setSeconds(addMinutes(new Date(), 1), 0) => Fri Jul 02 2021 16:45:00 <- Seconds set to zero

Hmm yeah it would be nice to have a more generalized rounding method. Making a note of this.

I'm assuming you also want the milliseconds to be set to 0 right? Using startOfMinute instead of setSeconds would work better.

import { setSeconds, addMinutes, startOfMinute } from "date-fns";

const now = new Date();
const result1 = setSeconds(addMinutes(now, 1), 0);
const result2 = startOfMinute(addMinutes(now, 1));

console.log(result1.toISOString()); // 2021-07-02T18:36:00.932Z
console.log(result2.toISOString()); // 2021-07-02T18:36:00.000Z

I would also consider simply going pure JS with this one.

const now = new Date();
now.setMinutes(now.getMinutes() + 1, 0, 0);

console.log(now.toISOString()); // 2021-07-02T18:36:00.000Z
