Glide Ajax Doubt

yuvarajkate · ‎12-30-2024

I want to display the current date on the Incident form as an alert.

Client Script:

function onLoad() {
    var ga = new GlideAjax('GetDateTime');
    ga.addParam('sysparam_name', 'date');
    ga.getXMLWait();
    var response = ga.getAnswer(); 
    alert("Current Date: " + response);  
}

Script Include:

var GetDateTime = Class.create();
GetDateTime.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
    date: function() {
        var dt = new GlideDateTime();
        var currentdate = dt.getDate().toString();
        gs.info("Current Date Retrieved by GetDateTime: " + currentdate); 
        return currentdate; 
    },
    type: 'GetDateTime'
});

In Alert i am getting Null.

Please help out with this.

Hi @yuvarajkate ,

In client script by mistake you wrote

ga.addParam('sysparam_name', 'date');

instead of this use following line.

ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'date');

Please mark my response as correct and helpful if it helped solved your question.

Thanks,

@yuvarajkate

no script include and ajax required.

you can get it directly in onload client script

function onLoad(){
var selected_date = new Date(getDateFromFormat(new Date(), g_user_date_format));
var selected_dateStr = formatDate(selected_date, g_user_date_format);
alert(selected_dateStr);
}

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

To display the current date on the Incident form as an alert using GlideAjax, follow these steps. First, create a Script Include to fetch the current date. In the Script Include, write a server-side function that returns the current date. Make sure the Script Include is accessible from the client-side by setting the "Accessible from" field to Client callable

var CurrentDateUtils = Class.create();
CurrentDateUtils.prototype = {
    initialize: function() {},
    getCurrentDate: function() {
        var currentDate = new GlideDateTime();
        return currentDate.getDisplayValue();
    },

    type: 'CurrentDateUtils'
};

Hi @yuvarajkate

Use below code :

function onLoad() {
var currentDate = new Date();

// Display an alert box with the current date and time
alert("The current date and time is: " + currentDate.toLocaleString());
}
