Dates

Charlie developer documentation > Dates

The dates utility is meant to provide date parsing and formatting functionality. It exists primarily as a placeholder for when Moment.js is removed and replaced with the Temporal API. For now, it only provides a single method.

function getNextHoliday(String timesone) : Object

Gets the next holiday after the current date.

Arguments	Description
