[Freeswitch-users] Help writing a simple JS script

[George Diamantopoulos]

Hello,

I've been trying to write a simple JS script, which is called from within
the XML dialplan, in order to convert the value of ${created_time} to
something more meaningful than UNIX time in ms. The problem is when I try
to print something to the console (see log application below), I get NaN
(not a number) for variable ${created_date}, even though I don't want a
number (a string is fine, I tried enforcing this with toString()).
Moreover, you'll notice I've left out var month = date.getMonth();, because
if I don't I get the following error: TypeError: date.getMonth is not a
function. I can't figure out why, it's documented in JS in the date object,
and the syntax is identical to other functions I use to acquire object
values. Any hints would be greatly appreciated, I've been trying different
code variations for over two hours now and I'm stuck. Thanks.

Here's the call in the dialplan:

<action application="javascript" data="unixtocal.js $created_time"/>

And here's the JS script itself:

var date = new Date(argv);
var hours = date.getHours();
hours = hours.toString();
var minutes = date.getMinutes();
minutes = minutes.toString();
var seconds = date.getSeconds();
seconds = seconds.toString();
var ms = date.getMilliseconds();
ms = ms.toString();
var year = date.getFullYear();
year = year.toString();
var day = date.getDate();
day = day.toString();

session.execute("set", "created_year="+year);
session.execute("set", "created_date="+day);
session.execute("set", "created_hours="+hours);
session.execute("set", "created_minutes="+minutes);
session.execute("set", "created_seconds="+seconds);
session.execute("set", "created_ms="+ms);

Then the dialplan takes over again, for example:

<action application="log" data="INFO Date is ${created_date}"/>
