I need to get today's date -30 days but in the format of: 2016-06-08

I have tried setDate(date.getDate() - 30); for -30 days.

I have tried date.toISOString().split('T')[0] for the format.

Both work, but somehow cannot be used together.

setDate() doesn't return a Date object, it returns the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC. You need separate calls:

var date = new Date();

date.setDate(date.getDate() - 30);

var dateString = date.toISOString().split('T')[0]; // 2016-06-08
