Add 10 days with selected date -on-change method -service now

Question

I have 2 date fields issued date and due date.When I choose issued date,due date should be auto populated by adding 10days with selected date. I have written on-change method for this

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
      return;
   }

    //var issuedDate=new GlideDateTime(g_form.getValue('u_issued_date'))
    //var issuedDate=g_form.getValue('u_issued_date')
    alert(issuedDate)
    var gdt = new GlideDateTime(issuedDate);
    gdt.addDays(10)
    g_form.setValue('u_due_date',gdt);
}

I am getting an error GlideDateTime is not defined function ().How can I achieve this? Is there any other way?

GlideDateTime is not available on client side. For simple operation like the one you are having you can use javascript Date object. Which is pain to format, but doable, example:

var date = new Date(g_form.getValue('u_issued_date'));
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 10);  //add 10 days
g_form.setValue('u_due_date', formatDate(date));

function formatDate (date) {
    return date.getFullYear() + '-' +
        leadingZero(date.getMonth() + 1) + '-' +
        leadingZero(date.getDate()) + ' ' +
        date.getHours() + ':' +
        date.getMinutes() + ':' +
        date.getSeconds();
}

function leadingZero (value) {
    return ("0" + value).slice(-2);
}

For more complicated operation you would wish GlideDateTime you will have to use GlideAjax, that will do operations on server side, and provide result.
