How set random delay to current date and random time?
To set a random delay in your Pipedream workflow, you can use the built-in $.flow.delay() function. First, you’ll need to calculate a random delay in milliseconds based on the current date and a random time. Here’s an example component that sets a random delay: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Calculate the random delay in milliseconds const currentDate = new Date(); const randomHour = Math.floor(Math.random() ** 24); const randomMinute = Math.floor(Math.random() ** 60); const randomSecond = Math.floor(Math.random() * 60); const targetDate = new Date(currentDate.getFullYear(), currentDate.getMonth(), currentDate.getDate(), randomHour, randomMinute, randomSecond); const delayInMilliseconds = targetDate.getTime() - currentDate.getTime(); // Apply the random delay to your workflow return $.flow.delay(delayInMilliseconds); }, }); This component calculates a random time (hour, minute, and second) for the current date and computes the delay in milliseconds. Then, it uses $.flow.delay() to apply the random delay to your workflow.
Get the current time in UTC+1 (Europe/Warsaw time zone) ?
To get the current time in the Europe/Warsaw time zone (UTC+1), you can use the Intl.DateTimeFormat and Date objects in JavaScript. Here’s an example Pipedream component that returns the current time in the Europe/Warsaw time zone: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Get the current time in the Europe/Warsaw time zone const currentTime = new Date(); const formatter = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', { timeZone: 'Europe/Warsaw', hour: '2-digit', minute: '2-digit', second: '2-digit', }); const formattedTime = formatter.format(currentTime); // Return the formatted time return formattedTime; }, }); This component creates a new Date object for the current time and formats it using the Intl.DateTimeFormat object with the specified time zone (Europe/Warsaw). The formatted time is then returned from the component.
Change formattedTime to miliseconds
To convert the formatted time to milliseconds, you can use the Date object. Here’s an updated Pipedream component that returns the current time in milliseconds in the Europe/Warsaw time zone: ```
export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Get the current time in the Europe/Warsaw time zone const currentTime = new Date(); const formatter = new Intl.DateTimeFormat(‘en-US’, { timeZone: ‘Europe/Warsaw’, hour: ‘2-digit’, minute: ‘2-digit’, second: ‘2-digit’, }); const formattedTime = formatter.format(currentTime); // Convert the formatted time to milliseconds const timeParts = formattedTime.split(‘:’); const hours = parseInt(timeParts[0], 10); const minutes = parseInt(timeParts[1], 10); const seconds = parseInt(timeParts[2], 10); const milliseconds = (hours ** 3600 + minutes ** 60 + seconds) * 1000; // Return the time in milliseconds return milliseconds; }, });
show me const code for : currentTime, timeZone Europe/Warsaw but in milisecond
Here’s a Pipedream component that gets the current time in the Europe/Warsaw time zone and returns it in milliseconds: ```
export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Get the current time in UTC const currentTimeUTC = new Date(); // Calculate the offset for Europe/Warsaw (UTC+1) const offset = 60; // 60 minutes // Convert the current time to Europe/Warsaw time const currentTimeEuropeWarsaw = new Date(currentTimeUTC.getTime() + offset ** 60 ** 1000); // Convert the Europe/Warsaw time to milliseconds const currentTimeInMilliseconds = currentTimeEuropeWarsaw.getTime(); // Return the time in milliseconds return currentTimeInMilliseconds; }, });
