How to get Current Date in Cart and Checkout Validation Function API

[vy2902]

I want to get current date in Cart and Checkout Validation Function API. I'm using this:

new Date()

But it returns 01/01/1970. I tried to use another ways but cannot get current date.
Can somebody explain this?
And how to i get Current Date in Cart and Checkout Validation Function API?

Thank in advance.

JS date won't work since functions are deterministic.

The Shopify team has some additions in the works to add the date to the input query.

Do we know if there is a rough ETA for this please, and if the store time be available as well?

Good news.

localTime field is on unstable version.

You can check the documentation.

Unfortunately, it is still limited to a date without time. 

"2019-07-16"

 Shopify could add time as well, instead of multiple date time comparison functions in GraphQL

I also need the current dateTime in my function not a comparison. I opened a feature request on GitHub, please upvote it @adkhamllama.
