Get Yesterday's Date Using Java's Time API

In order to get yesterday's date, first find the current date, and then subtract one day from it.

The minus method will return a copy of the date with the specified amount subtracted.

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.Period;

public final class DateUtility {

    private DateUtility() {}

    public static LocalDate getYesterday() {
        return LocalDate.now().minus(Period.ofDays(1));
    }

}
