Manipulating Dates with Moment.js

Overview

Moment.js formulas let you manipulate stored Date Input values. You can reformat values, for example going from 2020/01/01 to January 1st, 2020. You can also add or subtract units of time, for example adding 7 days to a stored Date Input value.

Formatting Dates

Formatting formulas include tokens, like m, Do, or Y. These tokens represent a way to format your date information. To reformat stored Date Input values, use the following formula template: =moment(moment({Property ID/alias}),'format', '{tokens}'). For example =moment(moment(dateOne),'format', 'YY-MM-DD'). The following tables use Wednesday, January 9th, 1991 as a sample dateOne value.

You can also use field separators to visually chunk a date. Acceptable separators include the comma (,), forward slash (/), dash (-), period (.), or space ( ).

Manipulating Dates

To add or subtract units of time from stored Date Input values, use the following formula template: =moment(moment(moment({Property ID/alias}),'{add/subtract}',{number},'{unit(s) of time}'),'format','{tokens}'). For example: =moment(moment(moment(dateOne),'add',10,'days'),'format','YYYY-MM-DD'). The following tables, use the sample dateOne value of Wednesday, January 9th, 1991 (1991-01-09).

Time Zones

Unqork also supports the tz function to set dates based on time zones. Some examples include:

• =MOMENT(MOMENT(A), 'isBefore', MOMENT(_arg))

• =MOMENT(MOMENT(), 'format','[2.]x')

• =MOMENT(MOMENT(MOMENT(MOMENT(), 'utc')), 'format', 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSS')

Here is an example of using it in an Unqork formula. It can be nested like other moment functions

=moment(moment(moment(),'tz','America/Los_Angeles'),'format','yyyy-MM-DD HH:mm:ss z')
