Question regarding date values in postman-to-k6 converted scripts

How to use date values in postman-to-k6 converted scripts?

In my postman collection, I am using moment() to set multiple date values as collection variables by performing actions like add days / formatting date values. This works perfectly fine in Postman collection run (and postman performance run).

But, in K6 script generated by postman-to-k6, we do not have support for moment(). So, whats the alternate to setup date values?
Can someone please help.

Found the solution:

Instead of moment() use Date()
Created below method to do date additions.

const getDate = (days) => { const startDate = new Date() startDate.setDate(startDate.getDate() + days) return startDate.toISOString().slice(0, 10) }

This method returns date in "YYYY-MM-DD" format (e.g. "2024-03-28")
Calling this method to initiate Collection Variables:

pm.collectionVariables.set(
  "todaysDate",
  getDate(0)
);

pm.collectionVariables.set(
  "tomorrowsDate",
  getDate(1)
);

pm.collectionVariables.set(
  "yesterdaysDate",
  getDate(-1)
);
