| Function | Signature | Description |
|---|---|---|
date() | date(string): date | Parse string to date. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss |
duration() | duration(string): duration | Parse duration string |
now() | now(): date | Current date and time |
today() | today(): date | Current date (time = 00:00:00) |
if() | if(condition, trueResult, falseResult?) | Conditional |
min() | min(n1, n2, ...): number | Smallest number |
max() | max(n1, n2, ...): number | Largest number |
number() | number(any): number | Convert to number |
link() | link(path, display?): Link | Create a link |
list() | list(element): List | Wrap in list if not already |
file() | file(path): file | Get file object |
image() | image(path): image | Create image for rendering |
icon() | icon(name): icon | Lucide icon by name |
html() | html(string): html | Render as HTML |
escapeHTML() | escapeHTML(string): string | Escape HTML characters |
| Function | Signature | Description |
|---|---|---|
isTruthy() | any.isTruthy(): boolean | Coerce to boolean |
isType() | any.isType(type): boolean | Check type |
toString() | any.toString(): string | Convert to string |
Fields: date.year, date.month, date.day, date.hour, date.minute, date.second, date.millisecond
| Function | Signature | Description |
|---|---|---|
date() | date.date(): date | Remove time portion |
format() | date.format(string): string | Format with Moment.js pattern |
time() | date.time(): string | Get time as string |
relative() | date.relative(): string | Human-readable relative time |
isEmpty() | date.isEmpty(): boolean | Always false for dates |
When subtracting two dates, the result is a Duration type (not a number). Duration has its own properties and methods.
Duration Fields:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
duration.days | Number | Total days in duration |
duration.hours | Number | Total hours in duration |
duration.minutes | Number | Total minutes in duration |
duration.seconds | Number | Total seconds in duration |
duration.milliseconds | Number | Total milliseconds in duration |
IMPORTANT: Duration does NOT support .round(), .floor(), .ceil() directly. You must access a numeric field first (like .days), then apply number functions.
# CORRECT: Calculate days between dates
"(date(due_date) - today()).days" # Returns number of days
"(now() - file.ctime).days" # Days since created
# CORRECT: Round the numeric result if needed
"(date(due_date) - today()).days.round(0)" # Rounded days
"(now() - file.ctime).hours.round(0)" # Rounded hours
# WRONG - will cause error:
# "((date(due) - today()) / 86400000).round(0)" # Duration doesn't support division then round# Duration units: y/year/years, M/month/months, d/day/days,
# w/week/weeks, h/hour/hours, m/minute/minutes, s/second/seconds
# Add/subtract durations
"date + \"1M\"" # Add 1 month
"date - \"2h\"" # Subtract 2 hours
"now() + \"1 day\"" # Tomorrow
"today() + \"7d\"" # A week from today
# Subtract dates returns Duration type
"now() - file.ctime" # Returns Duration
"(now() - file.ctime).days" # Get days as number
"(now() - file.ctime).hours" # Get hours as number
# Complex duration arithmetic
"now() + (duration('1d') * 2)"Field: string.length
