Hi all, Currently, when using a gremlin, there is no way to use the current server time in requests. This can be convenient for storing the creation or update date of elements. Also may be useful when examining query performance.
I propose adding this feature. There are some ways to implement it 1. Add a new step `currentDateTime()` which will return the current UTC time. pros: compatible with both bytecode and gremlin cons: one more step 2. Extend `inject` step to accept some kind of tokens, for example `inject(DT.now)` or `inject(DT.utcnow)` pros: can be reused existing step cons: not feel like gremlin 3. Extend `datetime()` function to return current time without arg. pros: clean and easy to implement cons: not compatible with bytecode, what I consider as a blocker I plan to implement option 1 if there are no objections. What do you think? Regards, Valentyn
