Using suitescript in my map reduce script, how can I get the current month in text form (ie. January, February, March, etc.)?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To get the current month in text form using SuiteScript in a Map/Reduce script, you can use the

format

module provided by NetSuite. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
var format = require('N/format');

var date = new Date();
var formattedDate = format.format({
    value: date,
    type: format.Type.DATE
});

var month = formattedDate.split('/')[0];
var monthInText;

switch(month) {
    case '01':
        monthInText = 'January';
        break;
    case '02':
        monthInText = 'February';
        break;
    case '03':
        monthInText = 'March';
        break;
    case '04':
        monthInText = 'April';
        break;
    case '05':
        monthInText = 'May';
        break;
    case '06':
        monthInText = 'June';
        break;
    case '07':
        monthInText = 'July';
        break;
    case '08':
        monthInText = 'August';
        break;
    case '09':
        monthInText = 'September';
        break;
    case '10':
        monthInText = 'October';
        break;
    case '11':
        monthInText = 'November';
        break;
    case '12':
        monthInText = 'December';
        break;
}

log.debug({
    title: 'Current Month',
    details: monthInText
});

This script first gets the current date and formats it to a string. It then extracts the month part of the date (which is the first part of the formatted date string) and uses a switch statement to convert the month number to its corresponding text form. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
