how to get the current date in client script ?

RudhraKAM · ‎04-16-2019

we have a end date field , we need to validate the date and alert if the provided end date exceed 1 year from today

I am using this client script and working fine in another catalog item , the only difference is in the working catalog item we are having a start date field and end date field ,, and we are calculating the difference and based on difference end date is greater that 1 year it will alert ,,

How to set start date to current date in on change client script

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
	
	var strtDate = g_form.getValue('csv_contractor_start_date');
	if (isLoading || newValue == '' || strtDate == '') {
		return;
	}
	
	
	var ga = new GlideAjax('getYearAgoDate');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_name','validateDateDurationOneYear');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_startdate', strtDate);
	ga.addParam('sysparm_enddate', newValue);
	ga.getXMLWait();
	
	var answer = ga.getAnswer();
	
	if (answer == true || answer == 'true') {
		g_form.hideFieldMsg('contractor_end_date',true);
	}
	else {
		g_form.clearValue('contractor_end_date');
		g_form.showFieldMsg('contractor_end_date','Maximum account duration is one year from the processing start date', 'error',true);
		
	}
}

Hi,

There is a mistake in yoru code. Try this and let me know.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
	if (isLoading || newValue == '' || strtDate == '') {
		return;
	}
	
var today_date = new Date();
var today_date_str = formatDate(today_date, g_user_date_format);
	var strtDate = today_date_str;
	
	var ga = new GlideAjax('getYearAgoDate');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_name','validateDateDurationOneYear');
	ga.addParam('sysparm_startdate', strtDate);
	ga.addParam('sysparm_enddate', newValue);
	ga.getXMLWait();
	
	var answer = ga.getAnswer();
	g_form.addInfoMessage("Answer is "+answer);
	if (answer == true || answer == 'true') {
		g_form.hideFieldMsg('contractor_end_date',true);
	}
	else {
		g_form.clearValue('contractor_end_date');
		g_form.showFieldMsg('contractor_end_date','Maximum account duration is one year from the processing start date', 'error',true);
		
	}
}
