Date Template Example

script

//Set your date of birth here as text between double quotes
//e.g. 1980-11-22

const DOB = "1980-11-22";

script

function elapsedDaysToNow(p_strDateFrom)
{
	//Get the current date/time
	let dtTo = new Date();
	//Return the elapsed days from the passed in date to now
	return elapsedDays(p_strDateFrom, dtTo.toISOString().split("T")[0]);
}

function elapsedDays(p_strDateFrom, p_strDateTo)
{
	//Create date objects form the strings passed in.
	let dtFrom = new Date(p_strDateFrom);
	let dtTo = new Date(p_strDateTo);

	//Calculate the difference in milliseconds.
	let intDiffMS = dtTo.getTime() - dtFrom.getTime();

	//Return that difference in days.
	//ms * secs * mins * hours => 1,000 * 60 * 60 * 24 = 86,400,000
	return intDiffMS / 86400000;
}

//Set the template tag used in the template
draft.setTemplateTag("x", elapsedDaysToNow(DOB));
