This class provides methods for performing operations on SimpleDateTime objects, such as instantiating objects, for example.

You can also use this class to perform date-time operations, such as calculations, formatting or converting between date-time formats.

addDaysLocalTime(days)

Example:

addDaysLocalTime
var simple_date_time = new SimpleDateTime("2019-01-01 08:00:00");
