Discover how to use Axure's .addYears(), .addMonths(), .addDays(), and more methods to add or subtract values from a date variable, in order to get a future or past date.
- Axure has some helpful methods we can use…to manipulate dates.…So if we've got a particular date…that we're working with in our prototype…and we want to get another date that's some…number of days into the future or the past,…we would be able to get that dynamically.…I've got a pretty simple page set up…in this adjusting dates exercise file…so that we can see how this works.…Right now all I have are a few text labels…over here, and I've also got this piece…of text, which is set up with an OnLoad event.…When the text loads up, it will set the text…to be equal to the now variable, so it's…going to show the current date and time.…
When we preview, we can see that that's…what we've got.…We've got the date and time of right now.…Let's say that in our prototype,…we needed to show a date that was…two days into the future.…I'll just make a copy of this text label here,…and drag it down, and then I'll double click…to edit this set text action.…I'll click on the function button, and then…what I'm going to do is tack on a date method…
