Dataweave - unable to subtract days from the date

Question

I am novice in Mule dataweave. I am stuck with a requirement of subtracting 30 days from current date. I spend 2 complete days behind googling around the net, but hopelessly couldn't able to find any useful information on the net. I know one approach of using the Groovy script, but Dataweave being so matured and powerful, can't buy out that there is no option of doing date subtraction.

Thanks in advance for any expert guidance provided to provide resolution! :)

For reference.. - Date noticeDate= currentDate - 30 Days.

To subtracting 30 days from current date, you can use:

DataWeave code:

%dw 1.0
%output application/json
---
{
    today: now,
    lastMonth: now - |P30D|
}

Or Groovy code:

import groovy.time.TimeCategory;

now = new Date();
println now;

use(TimeCategory) {
    lastMonth = now - 30.days;
    println lastMonth;
}
