Generating Current Date and Datetime during the Integration Testing

How to use or generate or deal with Date and Datetime in Zerocode?

e.g.

{
	"id": 1000,
	"createdDay": "${LOCAL.DATE.TODAY:yyyy-MM-dd}",
	"createdDayTimeStamp": "${LOCAL.DATETIME.NOW:yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.nnnnnnnnn}",
	"randomUniqueValue": "${LOCAL.DATETIME.NOW:yyyyMMdd'T'HHmmssnnnnnnnnn}"
}

resolved to ===> below date and datetime

{
	"id": 1000,
	"createdDay": "2018-02-14",
	"createdDayTimeStamp": "2018-02-14T21:52:45.180000000",
	"randomUniqueValue": "20180214T215245180000000"
}

e.g formats:

output: 2018-02-11  // "uuuu-MM-dd"
output: 2018 02 11  // "uuuu MM dd"
output: 2018        // "yyyy"
output: 2018-Feb-11 // "uuuu-MMM-dd"
output: 2018-02-11  // "uuuu-LL-dd"
Default: date.toString(): 2018-02-11

Note: uuuu prints same as yyyy

output: 2018-02-11T21:31:21.041000000    // "uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSSSS"
output: 2018-02-11T21:31:21.41000000     // "uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.n"
output: 2018-02-11T21:31:21.041000000    // "uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.nnnnnnnnn"
output: 2018-02-11T21:31:21.77481041     // "uuuu-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.A"
output: 2018-02-14                       // "uuuu-MM-dd" or "yyyy-MM-dd"
Default: date.toString(): 2018-02-11T21:31:20.989          // .toString()
