Hi,
Does anyone have a clever way to to add or subtract a date to a list of dates
In that image I have Group Date - Online’s date (which evaluates to a single date) and I want to see how far away it is in days to each item in my list of dates (which is Current user’s purchased programs: filtered’s Start date - evaulates to a list of dates)
Clearly bubble doesn’t like this. It works fine if I choose the first item in the list because then it’s just date minus date. If anyone has any clever work around to this I’d be very grateful.
I know I could write a plugin to do this but I’d really rather not have to go through the hassle.
Thanks,
Paul
There’s no map-type operator for lists in Bubble, so you could use a plugin for this, like Parallels, which can do this sort of operation on a list of dates. Should be possible in the Transform Dates action.
Please note that dates are points in time so the idea of “adding a date to a list of dates” doesn’t make any sense literally. Though of course you could add some DURATION to a list of dates (e.g., take a list of dates and move them forward in time by one day by adding “1 day” to them). Transform Dates can do this.
Awesome. Thanks keith. Yes sorry. I was only trying to subtract. When I wrote the post for some reason I added in “adding” but clearly that makes no sense.
I will check out the plugin. Much appreciated
FWIW, I’ve interacted with other users who built little plugins for solving some specific date-related task who were later like, dang, I wish I’d have known about your plugin first.
(Though note that this one is pretty much feature complete and I don’t really anticipate updating it much in the future except for compelling feature requests. I’d also like to update it to the most recent version of Luxon as there is probably a substantial reduction in core Luxon code due to recent enhancements to date-related APIs in the browser. But that’s not really an urgent thing. Basically, it does what it says in the plugin description and does it well!)
