Date today - object "now"

[asanzo]

I'd like some way to get today's date.

Thinking a bit about it, I got to this:

I'd really much like to have an object like "now", for example, in order to ask it several things:

now.date() // returns today's date
now.year() // returns the year (integer)
now.time() // Oh, I think Wollok doesn't have Time... Yikes, I need to open another issue.
now.mockDay(d,m,y) // mocks today's date, only works in tests
//etc.

It could also have shortcuts to Date's methods, like now.dayOfWeek().

Thoughts on this?

Dates have 2 constructors:

• with 3 parameters (day, month, year)
• with no parameters, which creates a date using the system date.

I guess that covers your needs :)

Yet Mati is right, I like Alf's idea, using now instead of new Date() seems more natural, what do you think?

The problem is that now would not be a stable object, i.e. each time I use it, it represents a different date, which is not true for other Date objects... so if we do that we should think that now is not a date, but another kind of object... posibly polymorphic for some uses.

I am not sure if it is going to be easy to understand.
