Package Exports
- format-string-by-pattern
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 (format-string-by-pattern) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
format-string-by-pattern
Overview
This module consists on a function that takes a pattern and a value and then returns this value formatted according to the pattern. It probably won't work with every pattern tho.
Why?
I was writing one specific function to each formatted value I had to obtain from an input and that sucks, so I decided to try write a function to format any value based on any pattern. This is my attempt. 😃
Other solutions
There is probably other solutions to these problems. If you know any other solution, feel free to open a PR adding it to the README.md.
Usage
const formatStringByPattern = require('format-string-by-pattern');
formatStringByPattern('YYYY-MM-DD', '20180508');
// '2018-05-08'
formatStringByPattern('2018-05-08', '20151217');
// '2015-12-17'NOTE: The returned value will be sliced to the size of the pattern.
