[OmniFaces utilities] The addYears(), addMonths(), addWeeks(), addDays(), addHours(), addMinutes(), addSeconds() functions returns a new date instance which is a sum of the given date and the given amount of years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds.

---

Functions:

Usage:

Let's suppose that the date comes from a simple bean:

@Named

@RequestScoped

public class DateBean {

   

 private Date date = new Date();

 private final String[] matches = {"Romania - Chile", "Argentina - Brazil", 
                                   "Chile - Brazil", "Romania - Argentina", "Romania - Brazil", "Argentina - Chile"};

   

 // getters & setters

}

And, let's consider the reference date as: 14-11-2015:10:05:58 (14 November 2015, time 10:05:58 AM).

Now, let's add some days, years, minutes...

Adding 1 year:

#{of:formatDate(of:addYears(dateBean.date, 1), "dd-MM-yyyy")}

Output: 14-11-2016

14 November 2015 become 14 November 2016

Adding 2 months:

#{of:formatDate(of:addMonths(dateBean.date, 2), "dd-MM-yyyy")}

Output: 14-01-2016

14 November 2015 become 14 January 2016

Adding 5 weeks:

#{of:formatDate(of:addWeeks(dateBean.date, 5), "dd-MM-yyyy")}

Output: 19-12-2015

14 November 2015 become 19 December 2015

Adding 1 day:

#{of:formatDate(of:addDays(dateBean.date, 1), "dd-MM-yyyy")}

Output: 15-11-2015

14 November 2015 become 15 November 2015

Adding 3 hours:

#{of:formatDate(of:addHours(dateBean.date, 3), "dd-MM-yy:HH:mm:ss")}

Output: 14-11-15:13:05:58

14 November 2015, 10:05:58 become 14 November 2015, 13:05:58

Adding 5 minutes:

#{of:formatDate(of:addMinutes(dateBean.date, 5), "dd-MM-yy:HH:mm:ss")}

Output: 14-11-15:10:10:58

14 November 2015, 10:05:58 become 14 November 2015, 10:10:58

Adding 30 seconds:

#{of:formatDate(of:addSeconds(dateBean.date, 30), "dd-MM-yy:HH:mm:ss")}

Output: 14-11-15:10:06:28

14 November 2015, 10:05:58 become 14 November 2015, 10:06:28

Adding 1 year, 1 month, 1 week, 1 day, 1 hour, 1 minute and 1 second:

#{of:formatDate(of:addYears(of:addMonths(of:addWeeks(of:addDays(of:addHours(of:addMinutes(of:addSeconds(dateBean.date, 1), 1), 1), 1), 1), 1), 1), "dd-MM-yy:HH:mm:ss")}

Output: 22-12-16:11:06:59

14 November 2015, 10:05:58 become 22 December 2016, 11:06:59

Display the next 7 days:

<c:forEach var="i" begin="0" end="4">

 #{of:formatDate(of:addDays(dateBean.date, i), "dd-MM-yyyy")}

</c:forEach>

Output: 14-11-2015   15-11-2015   16-11-2015   17-11-2015   18-11-2015

Display the next 12 months dates:

<c:forEach var="i" begin="0" end="11">

 #{of:formatDate(of:addMonths(dateBean.date, i), "dd-MM-yyyy")}

</c:forEach>

Output: 14-11-2015   14-12-2015   14-01-2016   14-02-2016   14-03-2016   14-04-2016   14-05-2016   14-06-2016   14-07-2016   14-08-2016   14-09-2016   14-10-2016

Let's schedule some soccer matches as 1 match / week:

<h:dataTable value="#{dateBean.matches}" var="match" binding="#{table}">

 <h:column>

  <f:facet name="header">Match</f:facet>

  #{match}

 </h:column>

 <h:column>

  <f:facet name="header">Date</f:facet>

  #{of:formatDate(of:addWeeks(dateBean.date, table.rowIndex+1), "dd-MM-yyyy")}

 </h:column>

</h:dataTable>

Output in figure below:
