const tomorrow = new Date(today)
tomorrow.setDate(tomorrow.getDate() + 1)

Compare date

date1.valueOf() === date2.valueOf() date1.getTime() === date2.getTime()

Serialization

• toISOString()
• getUTCxxx()
• getTime() //returns a number with no time or timezone.
• .toLocaleDateString("fr",{timeZone:"UTC"}) // whatever locale you want, but ALWAYS UTC.

function JustADate(initDate){
  var utcMidnightDateObj = null
  // if no date supplied, use Now.
  if(!initDate)
    initDate = new Date();

  // if initDate specifies a timezone offset, or is already UTC, just keep the date part, reflecting the date _in that timezone_
  if(typeof initDate === "string" && initDate.match(/((\+|-)\d{2}:\d{2}|Z)$/gm)){  
     utcMidnightDateObj = new Date( initDate.substring(0,10) + 'T00:00:00Z');
  } else {
    // if init date is not already a date object, feed it to the date constructor.
    if(!(initDate instanceof Date))
      initDate = new Date(initDate);
      // Vital Step! Strip time part. Create UTC midnight dateObj according to local timezone.
      utcMidnightDateObj = new Date(Date.UTC(initDate.getFullYear(),initDate.getMonth(), initDate.getDate()));
  }
