DBOS Date/Time Step

This is a DBOS step for getting the current date / time.

The reason that date retrieval should be wrapped in a @Step is so that replayed workflows get the recorded value and therefore have the same behavior as the original.

Available Functions

getCurrentDate()

This function returns a Date object representing the current clock time.

getCurrentTime()

This function returns a number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, UTC, in the same manner as new Date().getTime().
