I am trying to create a page that grabs a set of PDFs sorted by date. I can't seem to increment the date correctly. I'm not sure what's going wrong here. I rewrote the code twice now. No luck.
The current issue is that the set variables for the date do not keep the value of the date as a whole. IE incrementing from 12, 31, 2018, or in the case of the URL format 20181231, should result urlIncremented=20190101. January 1st, 2019, but the result of my code is urlIncremented=20181232.
The end result of one loop if set to June 8th 2018, should be: url20180608
I've searched for advice on here, and found a JS file called Date.JS; I've imported it and it was looking promising but just consoles out a part of its code, namely:
function () {
if (this._isSecond) {
this._isSecond=false;
return this;
}
if (this._same) {
this._same=this._is=false;
var o1=this.toObject(),
o2=(arguments[0] || new Date()).toObject(),
v="",
k=j.toLowerCase();
for (var m=(px.length-1); m>-1; m--) {
v=px[m].toLowerCase();
if (o1[v]!=o2[v]) {
return false;
}
if (k==v) {
break;
}
}
return true;
}
if (j.substring(j.length-1)!="s") {
j+="s";
}
return this["add"+j](this._orient);
}
Just a heads up I do not yet know jQuery, I was just playing with it to see if it would help..
Here is my actual code.
let url = "blank",
firstRun = true;
/*
function setDateByIncrement(currentSetDate){
let newDate,
currentDate = new Date(),
day = currentDate.getDate()+1,
month = currentDate.getMonth() + 1,
year = currentDate.getFullYear();
console.log(newDate);
newDate = (year+month+day);
console.log(newDate);
return newDate;
}
*/
// use on First run to set the url and date.
//3
function setURL(){
let urlIncremented = url + dateIncrementMethod();
return urlIncremented;
}
// will open x number of new windows containing URL
//2
function grabOpenPDF(maxNumberDays){
let urlSet = setURL();
//Set the variable for max days.
for(let x = 0; x < maxNumberDays; x++){
//window.open(urlSet);
console.log("It works: " + x);
urlSet = setURL();
}
}
/* TODO Add automatic download for MASS print.
function downloadPDF(){
}
*/
//Starts the task.
//1
function start(load){
console.log("Current Address: " + url);
if(load === 1){
console.log("Event load active. ");
let maxDay = document.querySelector('#maxNumberDays').value;;
grabOpenPDF(maxDay);
}else{
console.log("Event load skip. ")
let maxDay = document.getElementById('maxNumberDays').value;
}
}
//4
function dateIncrementMethod(current){
let dateIncrement;
if(firstRun=== true){
var today = new Date($('#date-input').val());
console.log("FirstRun check in 4. ")
}
firstRun = false;
var tomorrow = today.add(1).day;
console.log(tomorrow);
return tomorrow;
}
/* Possibly Deprecated
//let dateIncrement;
let date = new Date($('#date-input').val());
console.log(date);
day = date.getDate() + 1;
if(firstRun === true){
month = date.getMonth() + 1;
year = date.getFullYear();
//dateIncrement = (parseToAPI(year, month, day));
firstRun = false;
parseToAPI(year, month, day);
}else{
day = date.getDate()+1;
parseToAPI(year, month, day);
}
}
*/
function parseToAPI(year, month, day){
let apiDate;
console.log("Entered parse");
this.day = day;
this.month = month;
let d = this.day.toString(),
m = this.month.toString();
if(d.length === 1){
console.log("Entered First IF");
this.day = ('0') + day;
//console.log(day);
}
if(m.length === 1){
console.log("Entered Second IF")
this.month = ('0') + month;
}
apiDate = (year + "" + "" + month + "" + day);
console.log(apiDate);
return apiDate;
