I have a json request which requires current date to create the contract. I am writing automation script using Karate.

I know its possible use the javascript and java methods inside the feature file.

I have tried using the javascript but I seem not to get it correct

Below is the javascript I have tried, But I have limited knowledge with Javascript .. So I dont know how to call it as a method.

@Scenario1 Scenario:





* def familyCompositionPlan = read ('classpath:contract_management_service_json_files/create-family-composition-plan.json')



Given url CreatePlan And request familyCompositionPlan

* eval familyCompositionPlan.planCode = 'KTR-Plan' + code

* eval familyCompositionPlan.planName = 'Karate Plan' + code

* eval familyCompositionPlan.productId = resultPrd

* eval familyCompositionPlan.tierId = resultTier

* eval familyCompositionPlan.effFromDate = dd 

When method POST 

Then status 200





`function currentDate()

 {

 var s = '';

 var date = function()

 {var today = new Date();

 var dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0');

 var mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');

 var yyyy = today.getFullYear();

 today = yyyy + '-' + mm + '-' + dd;};return s;

 }`
