Package Exports

dateable

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (dateable) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

dateable

A small library that provides a few very useful methods for displaying dates, including a formatter and a parser.

Install

$ npm install dateable

How?

var dateable = require('dateable');

var str = dateable.format(new Date(), 'MM/DD-YYYY, hh:mm'); // e.g., 03/23-2012, 22:10

dateable.parse(str, 'MM/DD-YYYY, hh:mm') // Returns the original date

If you want to include text in the formatting, just escape it with either ' or ".

var date = new Date(2009, 4, 23)
  , format = '"I went to the moon in" YYYY. "I think it was a" dddd "in" MMMM';

dateable.format(date, format); // I went to the moon in 2009. I think it was a Saturday in May

You can also get the answers to simple questions, such as:

var date = new Date(2008, 4, 20);

dateable.when(date); // 4 years ago

// The same question can be asked for future days
dateable.when(new Date(2020, 4, 30)); // in 8 years

// And...
dateable.diff(new Date(2015), new Date()); // 3 years

Why?

Because dealing with dates in javascript is a fucking pain in the ass!
