```

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Not available in the Code node**

`format()` is a custom n8n extension added to Luxon `DateTime` objects in the expressions editor. It doesn't exist in the Code node, because Code node scripts run against plain, unmodified Luxon. Calling it there throws `... .format is not a function`.

Use Luxon's native [`toFormat()`](https://moment.github.io/luxon/api-docs/index.html#datetimetoformat) instead:

```javascript
// In the Code node
DateTime.now().toFormat('dd/LL/yyyy'); //=> '30/04/2024'
```

This applies to any method on this page marked **Source: Custom n8n functionality**: it's available in expressions (e.g. the Set node) but may not be available in the Code node. See [Built-in methods and variables](/build/code-in-n8n/use-built-in-shortcuts.md) for more on this distinction.

## *`DateTime`*.**`hasSame()`** <a href="#datetimehassame" id="datetimehassame"></a>

**Description:** Returns `true` if the two DateTimes are the same, down to the unit specified. Time zones are ignored (only local times are compared), so use `toUTC()` first if needed.

* `unit` (String) - The unit of time to check sameness down to. One of `year`, `quarter`, `month`, `week`, `day`, `hour`, `minute`, `second`, or `millisecond`.

**Examples:**

```javascript
// dt1 = "2024-03-20".toDateTime()
// dt2 = "2024-03-18".toDateTime()
dt1.hasSame(dt2, 'month') //=> true
```

```javascript

**Returns:** DateTime

**Source:** Custom n8n functionality

**Parameters:**

* `n` (Number|Object) - The number of units to subtract. Or use a Luxon \<a href=”[https://moment.github.io/luxon/api-docs/index.html#duration”>Duration](https://moment.github.io/luxon/api-docs/index.html#duration”>Duration) object to subtract multiple units at once.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Code node:** Luxon's native `DateTime.prototype.minus()` also exists in the Code node, but only accepts a single [Duration-like object](https://moment.github.io/luxon/api-docs/index.html#datetimeminus) (e.g. `dt.minus({ days: 7 })`), not this page's n8n-only `(n, unit)` shorthand. Passing `dt.minus(7, 'days')` in the Code node will not raise an error but will not subtract 7 days either — double-check the result if you use this signature there.
