Retrieving hours, min and seconds from the GlideDateTime object or using Instance time

[venkatiyer1]

Hi all,

Was trying to retrieve hours, minute seconds but didn't find a direct utility that could help me with it. I figured out a solution using the date object and wanted to share with you all below. 

var GetTimeValues = Class.create();
GetTimeValues.prototype = {
	/**
	Usage 
	new GetTimeValues().getSeconds() return seconds of local instance time
	new GetTimeValues().getMinutes() return minutes of local instance time
	new GetTimeValues().getHours() return hrs of local instance time
	Alternatively you can pass a date time string or display value of a date time column
	
	new GetTimeValues("2018-04-16 05:15:13").getHours() will return 5
	*/
	initialize: function(gdt) {
	    try{
			if(JSUtil.nil(gdt)) {
				this.gdt = new GlideDateTime(gs.nowDateTime()); // SNOW system time
			} else {
				this.gdt = new GlideDateTime(gdt);
			}
		} catch(ex) {
			gs.log("Exception caused while setting glideDateTime object");
		}
	},
	// Return hours in number type
	getHours : function() {
		var ms = this.gdt.getNumericValue(); // get milliseconds
		var dt = new Date(ms);
		return dt.getUTCHours();
		
	},
	// Return minutes in number type
	getMinutes : function() {
		var ms = this.gdt.getNumericValue(); // get milliseconds
		var dt = new Date(ms);
		return dt.getUTCMinutes();
	},
	// Return seconds in number type
	getSeconds : function() {
		var ms = this.gdt.getNumericValue(); // get milliseconds
		var dt = new Date(ms);
		return dt.getUTCSeconds();
		
	},
	
	
	type: 'GetTimeValues'
};
