Can we check the current time in protractor

Question

I have one scenario in which I have to book appointment. The limitation is that I can't book appointment in past. I have to automate this scenario.

Is this possible to check the current time and set book appointment time "currenttime +1" in protractor?

Sure, this is still JavaScript, you can get the tomorrow's date via Date():

var date = new Date(new Date().getTime() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
var day = date.getDate();
var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
var year = date.getFullYear();

var tomorrowDate = day + "/" + month + "/" + year;

Then, for example, you can send this tomorrowDate string into the appropriate input:

element(by.id("appointmentDate")).sendKeys(tomorrowDate);

Assuming by currenttime +1 you meant tomorrow :) – alecxe Mar 22 '16 at 13:17

There is a way to set the current date in your date picker.

var pickerDue = element(by.model("model of your date picker"));

var today = new Date();
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();

if(dd<10) {
   dd='0'+dd
} 

if(mm<10) {
   mm='0'+mm
} 

today = yyyy+'-'+mm+'-'+dd;

pickerDue.clear();
pickerDue.sendKeys(today);

This code works for me. If you have a problem, do not hesitate to ask.

Hope this helps. :)
