There doesn’t appear to an addmonth in native javascript. Has anyone found an equivalent in 2.0 ?

Yeah I was having the same issue. Using the following

var today = new Date();

var sixmonthsago = new Date();

sixmonthsago.setMonth(sixmonthsago.getMonth() – 6);

Yes. I found set month only sets the month number. It does not increment/decrement the year. Many seemed to be using Javascript libraries with addmonth functions

We recommend that people have a look at MomentJS for date arithmetic.

Do I need to update the moment.js with define and return statements or can I use it as is…

moment.js is AMD-compatible as-is. I am currently using it in some 2.0 scripts just fine. Uploaded the .min version to the File Cabinet, and included it in my 2.0 portlets with no issue or modifications needed.

I like momentsjs but I’m not a big fan of loading unnecessary code. Here are a couple functions that you might be able to use.

Code:
function addMonths(date,months){
var d= new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth()+months, date.getDate());
return d;
}

function daysInMonth(date) {
return new Date(date.getYear(), date.getMonth()+1, 0).getDate();
}

I’m not a fan of _writing_ unnecessary code. My recommendation is to use momentjs instead of writing buggy code ones self.

It should work as-is, MomentJS will detect the presence of an AMD module loader and register with it if present.

+1 for MomentJS. If you need to go back to date objects or strings formatted to your user prefs/company prefs (which is a lot of the time), be sure to use the N/format module and its format.format / format.parse methods. Also be sure to always use date ob
