VFP Date functions in Javascript

[tekhong]

Hi Barry

Understand the need to use Javascript for a mobile app.
Would be very helpful if you could add the following VFP date functions to Javascript

a. DATE()
b. MONTH()
c. YEAR()
d. DAY()
e. GOMONTH()
f. DOW()
g. CDOW()
h. CMONTH()
i. CTOD()
j. DTOC()
k. DTOS()

In addition, an easy way to add /minus days from a given date is most helpful

Thanks & Best Regards

Hi Tek Hong,

Yes that's a good idea. Simplifies things for VFP devs building web and mobile apps. I'll see about adding them into the LianjaWebFramework.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Just for info,
(since I'm also hacking around in some other tools): in Servoy the same question exists; the community built a wrapper for that:
See http://www.visualfoxpro.com/ and there follow the link to the VFP2Servoy Toolkit or the language comparison with a lot of JS wrapper functions. Maybe they're helpful as a starting point.
In Servoy, you program everything in JS (or extend JS with pure Java), there's no way to reuse any of your VFP code etc, therefor you need those wrappers even in Desktop apps.
(if you wonder about that domainname: MS wasn't interested in that, Omar aquired it long time ago and just put it to good use )

That's useful.

Many of the VFP functions are already implemented in JavaScript as documented here.

Hi w00dy,

I saw that some time ago, but haven't used it because it's not clear what the license is. Omar mentions putting it in the Servoy OS git repository, but that hasn't happened.
