+# ServiceNow JavaScript Helpers
+
+A set of lightweight JavaScript helper functions for use in ServiceNow Script Includes, Business Rules, and Client Scripts.  
+No external dependencies, just pure JavaScript.  
+
+---
+
+## 📅 Date Helpers (`dateHelpers.js`)
+
+- `getTodayISO()` → Returns today's date in `YYYY-MM-DD`
+- `getTodayReadable()` → Returns today's date in human-readable string (`Sat Oct 04 2025`)
+- `getCurrentYear()` → Returns current year as a number
+- `formatUnixTimestamp(unixSeconds)` → Converts UNIX timestamp into `{ fullDateTime, date, time }`
+- `formatDateTime(jsDate)` → Converts JS Date/string into `"YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss"`
