getLocalDate()

Returns the date stored by the GlideDateTime object, showed in the user's time zone.

Return:

TypeDescriptionStringThe date in the user's time zone.

Info: false

setValue(dateTime)

This method is intended to define the date and time value within the SimpleDateTime object.

Parameter(s):

Name	Type	Mandatory	Default Value
dateTime	A string in the UTC timezone and the internal format of YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.	Y	N
dateTime	A SimpleDateTime object.	Y	N
dateTime	A JavaScript Number. It sets the value of the object using the Number value as milliseconds past January 1, 1970, 00:00:00.	Y	N

Example:

Code Block

language	js
title	getLocalDate

var first_simple_date_time = new SimpleDateTime("2019-01-01 08:00:00");
ss.info( first_simple_date_time.getLocalDate() )

getLocalTime()

Returns a SimpleDateTime object that shows the time in the user's time zone.

Return:

Type	Description

SimpleDateTimeThe time in the user's time zone

Void	This method does not return a value.

Example:

Code Block

language	js
title	getLocalTime

theme	Eclipse
title	setValue
linenumbers	true

const startDateTimevar first_simple_date_time = new SimpleDateTime("2019'2019-01-01 08:00:00');
startDateTime.setValue('2020-01-01 12:00:00');
ss.info(startDateTime.getValue());
//Info: 2020-01-01 0812:00:00");
var time = first_simple_date_time.getLocalTime();
ss.info( "My local time is " + time.getByFormat('h:m:s') ) ;

getMonthLocalTime()

Returns the month saved by SimpleDateTime object, showed in the current user's time zone.

Return:

TypeDescriptionStringThe value of the month.

subtract(first, second)

This method returns the amount of time between two SimpleDateTime values. Also, it can subtract the amount of time from the current SimpleDateTime object.

Note
Displaying of the final value using the getDisplayValue() method returns it considering the current user' timezone, unlike the getValue() method. It returns data only in UTC timezone.

Parameter(s):

Name	Type	Mandatory	Default Value
first	SimpleDateTime Object	Y	N
second	SimpleDateTime Object	N	NULL

Return:

Type
SimpleDuration object

Example:

Code Block

language	js
theme	Eclipse
title	subtract #1
linenumbers	true

const startDatetime = new SimpleDateTime('2019-11-08 20:00:00');
const endDatetime

Example:

Code Block

language	js
title	getMonthLocalTime

var first_simple_date_time = new SimpleDateTime("'2019-01-01 08:00:00");11-08 20:06:28');
const diffDuration = new SimpleDateTime().subtract(startDatetime, endDatetime); 
ss.info( first_simple_date_time.getMonthLocalTimediffDuration.getDurationSeconds() ); 
// January

getMonthUTC()

Returns the month saved by SimpleDateTime object, showed in the system time zone.

Return:

TypeDescriptionStringThe value of the month.

Info: 388

const diffSeconds = endDatetime.getNumericValue() - startDatetime.getNumericValue(); 
ss.info( first_simple_date_time.getMonthUTC() );

getNumericValue()

Gets the timestamp which stores the amount of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00.

Return:

TypeDescriptionIntegerThe timestampExample:

datetime.subtract(3600);
ss.info( first_simple_date_time.getNumericValuedatetime.getValue() ) ; // 1546318800

getTime()

Returns a SimpleDateTime object that shows the piece of time of the SimpleDateTime object.

Return:

TypeDescriptionSimpleDateTimeThe Unix duration stamp.
