with SuiteScript 1.0, does NetSuite have its own date object type? What utility functions are available for working with them?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In SuiteScript 1.0, NetSuite does not have its own date object type. Instead, it uses JavaScript's built-in Date object. However, it's important to note that SuiteScript 1.0 does not handle JavaScript Date objects well when setting field date values. This is a limitation that was addressed in SuiteScript 2.0. As for utility functions, SuiteScript 1.0 does not provide built-in utility functions for date manipulation. However, you can use JavaScript's built-in methods for the Date object to manipulate dates. For example, you can use the

getDate()

,

getMonth()

, and

getFullYear()

methods to retrieve the day, month, and year from a Date object, respectively. You can also use the

setDate()

,

setMonth()

, and

setFullYear()

methods to set the day, month, and year of a Date object, respectively. In SuiteScript 2.0, NetSuite introduced the

N/format

module, which provides functions for formatting and parsing dates according to the current user's timezone and format settings. This module can be used to convert dates to strings and strings to dates, which can be particularly useful when working with dates that are displayed in the user interface or retrieved from a search result. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
