javascript - get last 14 Dates

Question

Hey i want to get the last 14 days in JavaScript. I tried following code:

var ourDate = new Date();
for (let index = 0; index < 14; index++) {
    var pastDate = ourDate.getDate() - index;
    ourDate.setDate(pastDate);
    console.log(ourDate.toDateString(), " - ", index);
}

but the console output is following:

Sat Jan 23 2021  -  0
Fri Jan 22 2021  -  1
Wed Jan 20 2021  -  2
Sun Jan 17 2021  -  3
Wed Jan 13 2021  -  4
Fri Jan 08 2021  -  5
Sat Jan 02 2021  -  6
Sat Dec 26 2020  -  7
Fri Dec 18 2020  -  8
Wed Dec 09 2020  -  9
Sun Nov 29 2020  -  10
Wed Nov 18 2020  -  11
Fri Nov 06 2020  -  12
Sat Oct 24 2020  -  13

Which does not make sense. Could someone help me with this? I used this code: LINK TO TUTORIAL

Answer 1

I just solved it myself. I never retested the ourDate so it first removed 0 than 1 than 2 but never reseted. Just have to create the ourDate in the for loop:

for (let index = 0; index < 14; index++) {
    var ourDate = new Date();
    var pastDate = ourDate.getDate() - index;
    ourDate.setDate(pastDate);
    console.log(ourDate.toDateString(), " - ", index);
}
