Hi,

I am designing an app where the user puts in a date (via ‘date input’). I want my code to take this input and add 7 days to it, and then display the result to the user. Example:

Date Input: 1 Dec 2020  
Computer Result: 8 Dec 2020

**Which component would be able to do this?** I’d really appreciate any tips or feedback. Thank you
