Operations on date object
On date object user can do math operations and modify final date value. For example user can add minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or set hour/minutes to exact value. See available operation below:
| Date object methods | Description | Sample usage |
|---|---|---|
| MODIFYING METHODS | ||
| withMinutes(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by setting specified number of minutes. Integer value must be in the range [0,59] | $repeating.date.withMinutes(0) |
| withHours(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by setting specified number of hours. Integer value must be in the range [0,23] | $repeating.date.withHours(12) |
| addMinutes(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by adding specified number of minutes | $repeating.date.addMinutes(15) |
| addMinutesStrict(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by adding specified number of minutes with respecting non-working days | $repeating.date.addMinutesStrict(15) |
| addHours(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by adding specified number of hours | $repeating.date.addHours(2) |
| addHoursStrict(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by adding specified number of hours with respecting non-working days | $repeating.date.addHoursStrict(2) |
| addDays(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by adding specified number of days | $repeating.date.addDays(2) |
| addDaysStrict(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by adding specified number of days with respecting non-working days | $repeating.date.addDaysStrict(2) |
| addWeeks(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by adding specified number of weeks | $repeating.date.addWeeks(1) |
| addWeeksStrict(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by adding specified number of weeks with respecting non-working days | $repeating.date.addWeeksStrict(1) |
| addMonths(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by adding specified number of months | $repeating.date.addMonths(15) |
| addMonthsStrict(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by adding specified number of months with respecting non-working days | $repeating.date.addMonthsStrict(15) |
| addYears(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by adding specified number of years | $repeating.date.addYears(1) |
| addYearsStrict(<integerValue>) | modifies the date by adding specified number of years with respecting non-working days | $repeating.date.addYearsStrict(1) |
| COMPARISON METHODS | ||
| isBefore(<dateObject | dateString>) | check if the date is before given date Parameter can be other date object or date / date time in ISO format YYYY-MM-DD'T'hh:mm:ss | $repeating.date.isEqal($sourceIssue.dueDate) |
| isAfter(<dateObject | dateString>) | check if the date is after given date Parameter can be other date object or date / date time in ISO format YYYY-MM-DD'T'hh:mm:ss | $repeating.date.isAfter('2018-09-13T13:30:00') |
| isEqual(<dateObject | dateString>) | check if the date is equal to given date Parameter can be other date object or date / date time in ISO format YYYY-MM-DD'T'hh:mm:ss | $repeating.date.isEqual('2018-09-13') |
Differences between strict and non-strict date modifications
Below is quick and simple comparison how strict mode with respecting non-working days differ from simple date modifications.
Repeating date is: 19/Sep/18 2:45 PM
Non-working days are: 20/Sep/18 and 21/Sep/18
$repeating.date.addDays(5) vs $repeating.date.addDaysStrict(5) 24/Sep/18 2:45 PM vs 26/Sep/18 2:45 PM $repeating.date.addMinutes(25) vs $repeating.date.addMinutesStrict(25) 19/Sep/18 3:10 PM vs 19/Sep/18 3:10 PM $repeating.date.addMinutes(4335) vs $repeating.date.addMinutesStrict(4335) (4335 minutes is equal to 3 days 15 minutes) 22/Sep/18 3:00 PM vs 24/Sep/18 3:00 PM $repeating.date.addHours(10) vs $repeating.date.addHoursStrict(10) 20/Sep/18 12:45 AM vs 22/Sep/18 12:45 AM $repeating.date.addHours(76) vs $repeating.date.addHoursStrict(76) (76 hours is equal to 3 days 4 hours) 22/Sep/18 6:45 PM vs 24/Sep/18 6:45 PM $repeating.date.addHours(82) vs $repeating.date.addHoursStrict(82) (82 hours is equal to 3 days 10 hours) 23/Sep/18 12:45 AM vs 25/Sep/18 12:45 AM $repeating.date.addMonths(2) vs $repeating.date.addMonthsStrict(2) 19/Nov/18 1:45 PM vs 21/Nov/18 1:45 PM $repeating.date.addYears(1) vs $repeating.date.addYearsStrict(1) 19/Sep/19 2:45 PM vs 21/Sep/19 2:45 PM
