I am trying to add 15 mins to a dateTime(2100-01-04T08:00:00) while looping. For each run I want to add 15 minutes , so it would be 2100-01-04T08:15:00 , 2100-01-04T08:30:00 and so on… I know I can do the below: var moment = require('moment'); moment().add(15, 'minutes').toISOString(); But this will add 15 minutes to the current moment time but I want to add 15 minutes to 2100-01-04T08:00:00.
Is this possible in postman?
You can achieve this without using any third party libraries like momentJs. The default javascript Date object has methods for getting the minutes property for a date object - getMinutes() and also another method for updating this minutes property - setMinutes(). Combining them both, you can achieve your required answer.
let x = new Date('2100-01-04T08:00:00')
for(let i = 0 ; i < 5; i ++){
x.setMinutes(x.getMinutes()+15);
console.log(x)
}
P.S, remove 'postman' from your question. It has nothing to do with the problem you are facing.
You can easily create an addMinutes() function to add a number of minutes to a date, you can then use a while loop to loop until a specified end date is reached.
In the example below, we'll add 15 minutes to the date until the end date is reached.
function addMinutes(date, minutes) {
let newDate = new Date(date);
newDate.setMinutes(newDate.getMinutes() + minutes);
return newDate;
}
let date = new Date('2100-01-04T08:00:00');
let endDate = new Date('2100-01-04T09:00:00');
let deltaMinutes = 15;
while (date <= endDate) {
console.log(date.toLocaleString('en-US'));
date = addMinutes(date, 15);
