Calculating age where the day of birth value is higher than the current day value.
I was struggling to get a valid age when the day of birth was bigger than the current day value. Ex: if current day is 27 and the day of birth was 28 I was getting -1 days as result, if 29 result -2, if 30 result -3 etc. How did you managed this issue if you had it? The way I resolved it is to get the last day from the previous month and to subtract the day value that initially resulted.
if (ageInDays < 0) { // Adjusting the age in months and days when the birthdate's day is greater than the current date's day ageInMonths -= 1; const lastMonthDate = new Date( currentDate.getFullYear(), currentDate.getMonth(), 0 ); // This gets the last day from the previous month by adding 0 as para for day ageInDays += lastMonthDate.getDate();

I just subtracted 1 month from the month input and then add: 30 days to day input if month input is April, June, September, November, 28 days if month February, 29 if day and month is 29 and February respectively, 31 if any other month. Your solution is really good too.
