How to add months, days, years to a date in Groovy

groovy-date-time-operations

Groovy also has a Time Category class which gives you DSL style syntax for manipulating dates. Here is an example:

import org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.TimeCategory
now = new Date()
println now
use(TimeCategory) {
    footballPractice = now + 1.week - 4.days + 2.hours - 3.seconds
}
println footballPractice
which will produce output like this:

Sat Sep 27 10:00:12 EST 2008
Tue Sep 30 12:00:09 EST 2008

ref: http://groovycookbook.org/basic_types/dates_times/

Nice work!

Shame that TimeCategory is still buried in the not-technically-public org.codehaus.groovy namespace.

very nice!

it's greate, thx! by the way, in groovy 2.0 version TimeCategory has moved to groovy.time package

thanks a lot
for groovy 2 the import statement needs to by modified (thanks to jetgeng )
import groovy.time.TimeCategory

Good work! thanks!

I want to display date in date and month format and want to remove year component from that using groovy scripts in sales cloud.
means if birthday is 19/02/1992 then 19-feb.

How to do this

@akash192, try below one:
date = date.format('dd-MMM')

use(TimeCategory){
dt1 = dt1 + b.year
dt1 = dt1 + c.month
}
Based on the above code - year is getting increased on the date dt1. But, months is not getting increased by c integer value. Also, there is not error message as well.
