How to get current date in script

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I want to write a script to calculate the number of days from current date
on a date field. I can use a script like:
"script_fields": {
"test": {
"script": "doc['date'].date.year * doc['date'].date.dayOfYear - "
}
}

How to get the current date? No date related function is mentioned in the
help(
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-scripting.html
).

Hello Abhishek ,

Something similar to this should work -

{
"script_fields": {
"test": {
"script": "doc['date'].value - new Date().getTime() * 1000"
}
}
}

Thanks
Vineeth
