Glide Date and Glide DateTIme

 What is Glide Date and Usage

Glide Date classes will  provides methods for performing operations on Glide Date objects, such as instantiating Glide Date objects or working with Glide Date fields.

·       These methods are used to work with date fields on form

·       Glide Date global oject is GlideDate

Glide Date Exercises

1.     Navigate to System Definition

2.     Open Scripts – Background Application

3.     Write code into given space

1. Working with GlideDate () method

Creates a GlideDate object with the current date time.

var date = new GlideDate();

gs.print (date);

 

2. Working with getByFormat () method

This method is used to gets the date in the specified date format.

var date = new GlideDate ();

gs.print (date.getByFormat ('dd-MM-yyyy'));

 

3. Working with getDayOfMonthNoTZ() method

Gets the day of the month stored by the GlideDate object, expressed in the UTC time zone.

var glideDate =new GlideDate();

gs.print (glideDate.getDayOfMonthNoTZ());

 

4. Working with getDayOfMonthNoTZ() method

This method is used to gets the date in the current logged in user's display format and time zone.

 

var glideDate =new GlideDate ();

gs.print(glideDate.getDisplayValue());

 

5. Working with getDisplayValueInternal() method

Gets the display value in the internal format (yyyy-MM-dd).

var glideDate =new GlideDate();

gs.print (glideDate.getDisplayValueInternal());

 

6. Working with getMonthNoTZ() method

Gets the month stored by the GlideDate object, expressed in the UTC time zone.

var glideDate =new GlideDate();

gs.print (glideDate.getMonthNoTZ());

 

7. Working with getValue () method

Gets the date value stored in the database by the GlideDate object in the internal format, yyyy-MM-dd, and the system time zone, UTC by default.

 

var glideDate =new GlideDate();

gs.print (glideDate.getValue());

 

8. Working with getYearNoTZ () method

Gets the year stored by the GlideDate object, expressed in the UTC time zone.

var glideDate =new GlideDate();

gs.print (glideDate.getYearNoTZ());

 

9. Working with setDisplayValue () method

Sets a date value using the current user's display format and time zone.

var glideDate =new GlideDate();

glideDate.setDiaplayValue(18-04-2020);

gs.print (glideDate.getValue());

 

10. Working with setValue () method

Sets the date of the GlideDate object.

var glideDate =new GlideDate();

glideDate.setValue('2020-04-18');

gs.print (glideDate.getValue());

 

11. Working with subtract () method

Gets the duration difference between two GlideDate values.

Code

var firstDate = new GlideDate();

firstDate.setDisplayValue('2020-01-25');

var secondDate = new GlideDate();

secondDate.setDisplayValue('2020-01-29');

difference= GlideDate.subtract(firstDate, secondDate);

gs.info(difference.getDisplayValue());
