# date-and-time

[![Circle CI](https://circleci.com/gh/knowledgecode/date-and-time.svg?style=shield)](https://circleci.com/gh/knowledgecode/date-and-time)  

This library is a minimalist collection of functions for manipulating JS date and time. It's tiny, simple, easy to learn.

## Why

JS modules nowadays are getting more huge and complex, and there are also many dependencies. Trying to keep each module simple and small is meaningful.

## Features

- Minimalist. Less than 2k. (minified and gzipped)
- Extensible. Plugin system support.
- Multi language support.
- Universal / Isomorphic. Wherever JS runtime works.
- Older browser support. Even works on IE6. :)

## Install

- via npm:

```shell
npm install date-and-time --save
```

- local:

```html
<script src="/path/to/date-and-time.min.js"></script>
```

## Recent Changes

- 0.12.0
  - The parser now supports `Z` token to parse timezone offset.
  - (**Breaking Change**) **Excleded `YY` token from the parser**, added it as `two-digit-year` plugin.
  - (**Breaking Change**) Decided to **change the default behavior of `A` token** to fix the non-intuitive definition. Sepcifically, in the `format()` it now outputs `AM` / `PM` instead of `a.m.` / `p.m.`, and in the `parse()` it recognizes `AM` / `PM` only. Other `A` tokens are supported as `meridiem` plugin.

    | token | new meaning                        | example    | default |
    |:------|:-----------------------------------|:-----------|:--------|
    | A     | meridiem (uppercase)               | AM, PM     | ✔️       |
    | AA    | meridiem (uppercase with ellipsis) | A.M., P.M. |         |
    | a     | meridiem (lowercase)               | am, pm     |         |
    | aa    | meridiem (lowercase with ellipsis) | a.m., p.m. |         |

- 0.11.0
  - Added compile() function that precompiling a date-time string for the parser. If you need to process many date-time string with one format, you could get results faster than before by precompiling the format string with this function.

  ```javascript
  // We have passed a string format at the 2nd parameter each time when calling the parse() function.
  date.parse('Mar 22 2019 2:54:21 PM', 'MMM D YYYY h:m:s A');
  date.parse('Jul 27 2019 4:15:24 AM', 'MMM D YYYY h:m:s A');
  date.parse('Dec 25 2019 3:51:11 AM', 'MMM D YYYY h:m:s A');

  // You can precompile the string format.
  const pattern = date.compile('MMM D YYYY h:m:s A');

  // The parse() will be able to finish faster than passing the format string each time.
  date.parse('Mar 22 2019 2:54:21 PM', pattern);
  date.parse('Jul 27 2019 4:15:24 AM', pattern);
  date.parse('Dec 25 2019 3:51:11 AM', pattern);
  ```

  ```javascript
  const pattern = date.compile('MMM D YYYY h:m:s A');

  // The isValid() will also too.
  date.isValid('Mar 22 2019 2:54:21 PM', pattern);
  ```

- 0.10.0
  - (**Breaking Change**) `YYYY` token now requires 4 digits in the `parse()`, `preparse()` and `isValid()`.

  ```javascript
  date.parse('31-12-0123', 'DD-MM-YYYY');   // Good
  date.parse('31-12-123', 'DD-MM-YYYY');    // Not good
  ```

  - (**Breaking Change**) `YY` token now requires 2 digits in the same functions.

  ```javascript
  date.parse('31-12-03', 'DD-MM-YY');   // Good, but it assumes the year is 2003.
  date.parse('31-12-3', 'DD-MM-YY');    // Not good
  ```

  - Added `Y` token to support year without zero-padding in the same functions.

  ```javascript
  date.parse('31-12-123', 'DD-MM-Y');   // Good, 123 AD.
  date.parse('31-12-3', 'DD-MM-Y');     // Good, 3 AD.
  ```

## Usage

- Node.js:

```javascript
const date = require('date-and-time');
```

- With a transpiler:

```javascript
import date from 'date-and-time';
```

- The browser:

```javascript
window.date;    // global object
```

## API

### format(dateObj, formatString[, utc])

- Formatting a date.
  - @param {**Date**} dateObj - a Date object
  - @param {**string**} formatString - a format string
  - @param {**boolean**} [utc] - output as UTC
  - @returns {**string**} a formatted string

```javascript
const now = new Date();
date.format(now, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm:ss');    // => '2015/01/02 23:14:05'
date.format(now, 'ddd, MMM DD YYYY');       // => 'Fri, Jan 02 2015'
date.format(now, 'hh:mm A [GMT]Z');         // => '11:14 PM GMT-0800'
date.format(now, 'hh:mm A [GMT]Z', true);   // => '07:14 AM GMT+0000'
```

| aa    | meridiem (lowercase with ellipsis)   | a.m., p.m.         |

#### NOTE 1. Comments

String in parenthese `[...]` in the `formatString` will be ignored as comments:

```javascript
date.format(new Date(), 'DD-[MM]-YYYY');    // => '02-MM-2015'
date.format(new Date(), '[DD-[MM]-YYYY]');  // => 'DD-[MM]-YYYY'
```

#### NOTE 2. Output as UTC

This function usually outputs a local date-time string. Set to true the `utc` option (the 3rd parameter) if you would like to get a UTC date-time string.

```javascript
date.format(new Date(), 'hh:mm A [GMT]Z');          // => '11:14 PM GMT-0800'
date.format(new Date(), 'hh:mm A [GMT]Z', true);    // => '07:14 AM GMT+0000'
```

#### NOTE 3. More Tokens

You could also define your own tokens. See [EXTEND.md](./EXTEND.md) for details.

date.parse('02-01-2015', 'DD-MM-YYYY');                     // => Jan 2 2015 00:00:00 GMT-0800
date.parse('11:14:05 PM', 'hh:mm:ss A');                    // => Jan 1 1970 23:14:05 GMT-0800
date.parse('11:14:05 PM', 'hh:mm:ss A', true);              // => Jan 1 1970 23:14:05 GMT+0000 (Jan 1 1970 15:14:05 GMT-0800)
date.parse('23:14:05 GMT+0900', 'HH:mm:ss [GMT]Z');         // => Jan 1 1970 23:14:05 GMT+0900 (Jan 1 1970 06:14:05 GMT-0800)
date.parse('Jam 1 2017', 'MMM D YYYY');                     // => Invalid Date
date.parse('Feb 29 2017', 'MMM D YYYY');                    // => Invalid Date
```

Available tokens and their meanings are as follows:

You could also use the following tokens by importing plugins. See [PLUGINS.md](./PLUGINS.md) for details.

| token | meaning                              | examples of acceptable form            |
|:------|:-------------------------------------|:---------------------------------------|
| YY    | two-digit year                       | 90, 00, 08, 19                         |
| Y     | two-digit year without zero-padding  | 90, 0, 8, 19                           |
| A     | meridiem                             | AM, PM, A.M., P.M., am, pm, a.m., p.m. |

#### NOTE 1. Invalid Date

If the function fails to parse, it will return `Invalid Date`. Notice that the `Invalid Date` is a Date object, not `NaN` or `null`. You could tell whether the Date object is invalid as follows:

```javascript
const today = date.parse('Jam 1 2017', 'MMM D YYYY');

if (isNaN(today)) {
    // Failure
}
```

#### NOTE 2. Input as UTC

This function usually assumes the `dateString` is a local date-time. Set to true the `utc` option (the 3rd parameter) if it is a UTC date-time.

```javascript
date.parse('11:14:05 PM', 'hh:mm:ss A');          // => Jan 1 1970 23:14:05 GMT-0800
date.parse('11:14:05 PM', 'hh:mm:ss A', true);    // => Jan 1 1970 23:14:05 GMT+0000 (Jan 1 1970 15:14:05 GMT-0800)
```

#### NOTE 3. Default Date Time

Default date is `January 1, 1970`, time is `00:00:00.000`. Values not passed will be complemented with them:

```javascript
date.parse('11:14:05 PM', 'hh:mm:ss A');    // => Jan 1 1970 23:14:05 GMT-0800
date.parse('Feb 2000', 'MMM YYYY');         // => Feb 1 2000 00:00:00 GMT-0800
```

#### NOTE 4. Max Date / Min Date

Parsable maximum date is `December 31, 9999`, minimum date is `January 1, 0001`.

```javascript
date.parse('Dec 31 9999', 'MMM D YYYY');    // => Dec 31 9999 00:00:00 GMT-0800
date.parse('Dec 31 10000', 'MMM D YYYY');   // => Invalid Date

date.parse('Jan 1 0001', 'MMM D YYYY');     // => Jan 1 0001 00:00:00 GMT-0800
date.parse('Jan 1 0000', 'MMM D YYYY');     // => Invalid Date
```

#### NOTE 5. 12-hour notation and Meridiem

If use `hh` or `h` (12-hour) token, use together `A` (meridiem) token to get the right value.

```javascript
date.parse('11:14:05', 'hh:mm:ss');         // => Jan 1 1970 11:14:05 GMT-0800
date.parse('11:14:05 PM', 'hh:mm:ss A');    // => Jan 1 1970 23:14:05 GMT-0800
```

#### NOTE 6. Comments

String in parenthese `[...]` in the `formatString` will be ignored as comments:

```javascript
date.parse('12 hours 34 minutes', 'HH hours mm minutes');       // => Invalid Date
date.parse('12 hours 34 minutes', 'HH [hours] mm [minutes]');   // => Jan 1 1970 12:34:00 GMT-0800
```

#### NOTE 7. Wildcard

A white space works as a wildcard token. This token is not interpret into anything. This means it can be ignored a specific variable string. For example, when you would like to ignore a time part from a date string, you can write as follows:

```javascript
// This will be an error.
date.parse('2015/01/02 11:14:05', 'YYYY/MM/DD');            // => Invalid Date
// Append the same length white spaces behind the formatString.
date.parse('2015/01/02 11:14:05', 'YYYY/MM/DD         ');   // => Jan 2 2015 00:00:00 GMT-0800
```

---

### compile(formatString)

- Compiling a format string for the parser.
  - @param {**string**} formatString - a format string
  - @returns {**Array.\<string\>**} a compiled object

```javascript
  const pattern = date.compile('MMM D YYYY h:m:s A');

  date.parse('Mar 22 2019 2:54:21 PM', pattern);
  date.parse('Jul 27 2019 4:15:24 AM', pattern);
  date.parse('Dec 25 2019 3:51:11 AM', pattern);
```

If you are going to call the `parse()` or the `isValid()` many times with one string format, recommended to precompile and reuse it for performance.

---

### preparse(dateString, arg)

- Pre-parsing a date string.
  - @param {**string**} dateString - a date string
  - @param {**string|Array.\<string\>**} arg - a format string or a compiled object
  - @returns {**Object**} a date structure

This function takes exactly the same parameters with the `parse()`, but returns a date structure as follows unlike that:

```javascript
date.preparse('Fri Jan 2015 02 23:14:05 GMT-0800', '    MMM YYYY DD HH:mm:ss [GMT]Z');

{
    Y: 2015,        // Year
    M: 1,           // Month
    D: 2,           // Day
    H: 23,          // 24-hour
    A: 0,           // Meridiem
    h: 0,           // 12-hour
    m: 14,          // Minute
    s: 5,           // Second
    S: 0,           // Millisecond
    Z: 480,         // Timsezone offset
    _index: 33,     // Pointer offset
    _length: 33,    // Length of the date string
    _match: 7       // Token matching count
}
```

This date structure provides a parsing result. You would be able to tell from it how the date string was parsed(, or why the parsing was failed).

---

### isValid(arg1[, arg2])

- Validation.
  - @param {**Object|string**} arg1 - a date structure or a date string
  - @param {**string|Array.\<string\>**} [arg2] - a format string or a compiled object
  - @returns {**boolean**} whether the date string is a valid date

This function takes either exactly the same parameters with the `parse()` or a date structure which the `preparse()` returns, evaluates the validity of them.

```javascript
date.isValid('2015/01/02 23:14:05', 'YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm:ss'); // => true
date.isValid('29-02-2015', 'DD-MM-YYYY');                   // => false
```

```javascript
const result = date.preparse('2015/01/02 23:14:05', 'YYYY/MM/DD HH:mm:ss');
date.isValid(result);   // => true
```

---

### addYears(dateObj, years)

- Adding years.
