I suggest solving the problem step by step.

1. Check the Date object documentation. There are methods that return the day, month, and year.

2. Add leading "0" when you need it. For instance, like this: ${value < 10 ? '0' : ''}${value}.

3. Concatenate the strings:

`${dayString}-${monthString}-${date.getFullYear()}`

let date = new Date()
date.setDate(date.getDate()   7);

const day = date.getDate();
const month = date.getMonth();
const dayString = `${day < 10 ? '0' : ''}${day}`;
const monthString = `${month < 10 ? '0' : ''}${month}`;
const formatted = `${dayString}-${monthString}-${date.getFullYear()}`;

const event = new Date(new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate()   7));

var day = event.getDate();
var month = event.getMonth();
var year = event.getFullYear();

var date = day   '-'   month   '-'   year;

date.toString();

I did find a fix for my issues no more comments are necessary
