add*
This function is used by Ignition's Expression language.
Description​
This function is a set of functions that include:
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| addMillis | Add or subtract an amount of milliseconds to a given date and time. |
| addSeconds | Add or subtract an amount of seconds to a given date and time. |
| addMinutes | Add or subtract an amount of minutes to a given date and time. |
| addHours | Add or subtract an amount of hours to a given date and time. |
| addDays | Add or subtract an amount of days to a given date and time. |
| addWeeks | Add or subtract an amount of weeks to a given date and time. |
| addMonths | Add or subtract an amount of months to a given date and time. This function is unique since each month can have a variable number of days. For example, if the date passed in is March 31st, and we add one month, April does not have a 31st day, so the returned date will be the proper number of months rounded down to the closest available day, in this case April 30th. |
| addYears | Add or subtract an amount of years to a given date and time. |
