Working with Dates - the start of my helper class

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:21PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 7 comments

I ran into a bug with nlapiDateToString({Date}, 'time') (case# 733146) and needed to workaround it.  I had some other date-related work to do tonight so I wrapped it up into a class.

Figured I would share it here if anyone is interested.  It's not very deep, might have bugs and was created to fit my needs.

 /**   * @class DateUtils   * @Description Duh, it's a utility class for working with dates??   */  function DateUtils(){}    /**   * Returns a new Date object that has the TimeZone component removed.   * @return {Date} The new Date object   */  DateUtils.GetGMTDate = function DateUtils_GetGMTDate()  {      var d = new Date();      var timeZoneOffset = d.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000;            return new Date(d.getTime() - timeZoneOffset);  }    /**   * Returns a Date object representing the date this task is due taking into   * consideration the weekend and counting only business days as valid days.   *
