I want to get Unix timestamp (time in seconds) from tomorrow.
I have tried the following with no success:
var d = new Date();
d.setDate(d.getDay() - 1);
d.setHours(0, 0, 0);
d.setMilliseconds(0);
console.log(d/1000|0)
How would I fix the above?

Just modified your code and it works fine
var d = new Date();
d.setDate(d.getDate() + 1);
d.setHours(0, 0, 0);
d.setMilliseconds(0);
console.log(d)

Hope this will work for you

This should do it.
Copied directly from https://javascript.info/task/get-seconds-to-tomorrow
function getSecondsToTomorrow() {
let now = new Date();
// tomorrow date
let tomorrow = new Date(now.getFullYear(), now.getMonth(), now.getDate()+1);
let diff = tomorrow - now; // difference in ms
return Math.round(diff / 1000); // convert to seconds
}
console.log(getSecondsToTomorrow());
You can use a unix timestamp and add 24*60*60*1000 (same as 86400000) to the current time's timestamp. You can then pass that to new Date() like this:
- 24 = hours
- 60 = minutes
- 60 = seconds
- 1000 = converts the result to milliseconds
// Current timestamp
const now = Date.now()
// Get 24 hours from now
const next = new Date(now + (24*60*60*1000))
// Create tomorrow's date
const t = new Date(next.getFullYear(), next.getMonth(), next.getDate())
// Subtract the two and divide by 1000
console.log(Math.round((t.getTime() - now) / 1000), 'seconds until tomorrow')

This would give incorrect results around handle leap seconds and daylight savings time.
.getDate()not.getDay().getDay()returns the day-of-the-week.var d = new Date(); d.setDate(d.getDate() + 1); d.setHours(0, 0, 0); d.setMilliseconds(0); console.log(d)
