date-time

after

static after(timestamp, duration)

Returns a timestamp that represents a point in time after the specified period from the specified date.

Available since 2018.2.42881

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
timestamp	`number`	The base date value.
duration	`number`, `string`, `Period`	A duration as a number (in milliseconds), string representation, or period as retrieved from a custom field or returned by the toPeriod() function. The string representation is a series of numeric values followed by the abbreviation that represents the timespan, in descending order. For example, 1m3w4d23h58m.

Return Value

Type	Description
`number`	The resulting timestamp.

before

static before(timestamp, duration)

Returns a timestamp that represents a point in time before the specified period from the specified date.

Available since 2018.2.42881

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
timestamp	`number`	The base date value.
duration	`number`, `string`, `Period`	A duration as a number (in milliseconds), string representation, or period as retrieved from a custom field or returned by the toPeriod() function. The string representation is a series of numeric values followed by the abbreviation that represents the timespan, in descending order. For example, 1m3w4d23h58m.

Return Value

Type	Description
`number`	The resulting timestamp.

format

static format(timestamp, format, timeZoneId)

Creates a string representation of a Unix timestamp.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
timestamp	`number`	The timestamp to format as a string.
format	`string`	The date format to apply to the output. If no value is specified, the date format is supplied by the system. For actions that are attributed to the current user, the date format setting from the profile for the current user is applied. For actions that are attributed to the workflow user account, the global date fields format setting is applied.
timeZoneId	`string`	The ID of a time zone. Applies an offset to the original timestamp, which is in UTC. If no value is specified, the time zone is supplied by the system. For actions that are attributed to the current user, the local time zone setting from the profile for the current user is applied. For actions that are attributed to the workflow user account, the global default time zone is applied. For a list of time zone IDs, see JodaTime.

Return Value

Type	Description
`string`	A string representation of the specified timestamp.

parse

static parse(dateTimeString, formats, timeZoneId)

Parses a string representation of a date to return a Unix timestamp. Use this method instead of the Date.parse() method from JavaScript. For a detailed explanation, refer to the MDN documentation.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
dateTimeString	`string`	The string representation of a date.
formats	`string`, `Array.<string>`	A date format that possibly matches the dateTimeString or an array of formats. If an array is provided, the formats are applied sequentially until the dateTimeString is parsed successfully. If no value is specified, the date format is supplied by the system. For actions that are attributed to the current user, the date format setting from the profile for the current user is applied. For actions that are attributed to the workflow user account, the global date fields format setting is applied.
timeZoneId	`string`	The ID of a time zone in which the dateTimeString occurs. This parameter is only effective when the format that matches the string does not provide any timestamp information. If neither the format that successfully matches the string nor this parameter provide the time zone, the time zone is supplied by the system. For actions that are attributed to the current user, the local time zone setting from the profile for the current user is applied. For actions that are attributed to the workflow user account, the global default time zone is applied. For a list of time zone IDs, see JodaTime.

Return Value

Type	Description
`number`	A timestamp representation of the specified string.

toPeriod

static toPeriod(period)

Creates a period representation of an argument.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
period	`number`, `string`	A duration in milliseconds as either a number or a string. The string representation is a series of numeric values followed by the abbreviation that represents the timespan, in descending order. For example, 1m3w4d23h58m.

Return Value

Type	Description
`Period`	The period representation of the specified argument.

Example

issue.fields.Estimation = dateTime.toPeriod(3 * 3600 * 1000); // 3h in ms
issue.fields.Estimation = dateTime.toPeriod('3h'); // short form
issue.fields.Estimation = dateTime.toPeriod('2w4d3h15m'); // full form
