I am trying to add a day to my date:
let createdDate = moment(new Date()).utc().format();
let expirationDate = moment(createdDate).add(1, 'd');
console.log(expirationDate);
However, this keeps returning an obscure object {_i: "2017-12-20T21:06:21+00:00", _f: "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss Z", _l: undefined, _isUTC: false, _a: Array(7), …}

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
You are logging a moment object. As the Internal Properties guide states:
To print out the value of a Moment, use .format(), .toString() or .toISOString().
let createdDate = moment(new Date()).utc().format();
let expirationDate = moment(createdDate).add(1, 'd');
console.log(expirationDate.format());
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.20.1/moment.min.js"></script>
Please note that you can get the current date using moment() (no need to use new Date()) or moment.utc().
I will go with this one, simple works for me and I don't think you need other function to only add day in moment.
var yourPreviousDate = new Date();
var yourExpectedDate = moment(yourPreviousDate).add(1, 'd')._d;
The add method modifies the moment object. So when you log it, you're not getting an obscure object, you're getting the moment object you're working with. Are you expecting a formatted date? Then use format or some other method.
I agree with other answers just providing shortcut and different ways
You can do the format at the same time
moment().add(1,'d').format('YYYY-MM-DD');
or you can just format any date or date object
moment(result.StartDate).format('YYYY-MM-DD');

What is the best way to determine the correct date format (dd/mm or mm/dd) of a Google Form response.
When I use the namedValues object:
function onFormSubmit(e){
var namedValues = e.namedValues;
var date = namedValues['Date']; // Date=[05/06/2018]
var date = new Date(date);
Logger.log(date); //Sun May 06 00:00:00 GMT+10:00 2018
}
When I use the value from the spreadsheet:
function onFormSubmit(e){
var range = e.range;
var row = range.getRow();
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getSheetByName('Form Responses 1');
var date = sheet.getRange(row,2).getValue();
Logger.log(date); //Mon Jun 05 00:00:00 GMT+10:00 2018
}
I don't know whether I should be, but I am hesitant using the values from the spreadsheet in an onFormSubmit trigger, since I have experienced instability in the past where I think the trigger was running before the data was being posted to the spreadsheet.
I cannot find anything in the Google Forms documentation stating whether a date response is always in a consistent format. If it was always dd/mm/yyyy I could construct the date using the string parts.
Is there a way to use determine the correct date format from the namedValues object?
P.S I would rather not use the moment.js library for this one requirement, so keen to understand if its possible without.
You Google form will constantly submit the date in the same format, but your sheet might change the appearance of formatting.
Also, there is now a date format utility built into Apps script. You can change the date string to the format that you need.
// This formats the date as Greenwich Mean Time in the format
// year-month-dateThour-minute-second.
var formattedDate = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), "GMT", "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");
Logger.log(formattedDate);
let's say I have a Date as a String, formated in yyyy-MM-dd, and I want it to be formated as style:"short".
I want just to use Dateformat.
I used this https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/#docs/guide/91f2eba36f4d1014b6dd926db0e91070.html to get an idea of how to use DateFormat.
But I can't see, what's wrong with my code:
date: function(sdate) {
var regex = "[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}";
if (!sdate.match(regex))
return "no valid date given";
jQuery.sap.require("sap.ui.core.format.DateFormat");
var oDateFormat = sap.ui.core.format.DateFormat.getInstance({pattern: "yyyy-MM-dd", style: "short"});
return oDateFormat.format(sdate); //date should be returned here in "short"-style
}
The console tell's me
TypeError: j.getTime is not a function.
Also it seems like the WebIDE doesn't know a function Datetime.format().
Can you help?
You'd probably reread the documentation in your link: to convert String into JS Date, you have to use DateFormat.parse method.
Is it possible to return a javascript date object from this? I have an text input field with the calendar and want to return a standard date object from it's value... Is this possible?
Is this what you are looking for?
var date = '2016-06-12'; // Can be document.getElementById('myField').value that points to your date field.
var date_parts = date.split('-');
var date_obj = new Date(date_parts[0],date_parts[1],date_parts[2]);
console.log(date_obj);
You can also simply use
new Date(document.getElementById('myField').value)
and see if it works. The date function is smart enough to parse based on browser's locale. This should work for time as well. Eg. new Date('2016-06-12 04:15:30')
I need t use the CQ5 xtype 'datefield' since I need only the date and not time tombe entered by the author.
But the issue is that 'datefield' saves the date in JCR as a String and not as a timestap [ as it does when 'datetime' is used.]
Is there a work around to save the date as a timestamp ?
I don't think it is possible to save the date as timestamp using datefield, without meddling with the default script. But as a workaround, you can use datetime and set the property hideTime to true, to hide the time part, so that the author will not be able to author it.
The json for the config is shown below.
{ "fieldLabel":"Date",
"xtype":"datetime",
"hideTime":true,
"name":"./date",
"defaultValue":"now",
"jcr:primaryType":"cq:Widget"
}
You can add defaultValue to 'now', if you want current date to be initialized as the default, if not explicitly filled in by the author, else it can be ignored.
NOTE: The defaultValue: 'now' doesnt work for me in IE (i am using IE 11 and emulating the previous versions through dev tools), but it works fine in Chrome and Mozilla.
A rough workaround for your jsp:
<%#page import="java.text.SimpleDateFormat,java.util.Date"%>
<%
SimpleDateFormat displayDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy");
String dateField = properties.get("nameofdatefield", "");
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy");
Date formattedDate = sdf.parse(dateField);
String formattedDateStr = displayDateFormat.format(formattedDate);
out.println('Example of formated string'+formattedDateStr);
%>
From the above, you can also convert it to a Date Object, depending on what you wish to manipulate.
Let me know if the above example helps
I have this
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM");
Date date = new Date();
I know the value as 10 but have got no idea how to print it out. How do I convert it to an int? If there even is a way?
date.getMonth()
it is deprecated - you should be using Calendar, but if you don't want to change, that'll do it. It is 0 indexed, so remember to change the resulting value appropriately.
