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:

npm install date-and-time --save

• local:

<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.

  // 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);
  

  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().

  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.

  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.

  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:

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

• With a transpiler:

import date from 'date-and-time';

• The browser:

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

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'

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:

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.

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:

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.

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.

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:

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:

// 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

  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:

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.

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

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

---

const yesterday = new Date(2015, 0, 1);

date.subtract(today, yesterday).toDays();           // => 1 = today - yesterday
date.subtract(today, yesterday).toHours();          // => 24
date.subtract(today, yesterday).toMinutes();        // => 1440
