Datetime

---

Datetime is a minimalist JavaScript library that parses, validates, manipulates, and displays dates and times for Node and modern Browsers with a comfortable modern API.

• 🕒 Quick and accurate
• 💪 Immutable/mutable modes
• 🔥 Chainable
• 🌐 I18n support
• 📦 9kb mini library (core), 16kb - full
• 👫 All browsers, Electron, NodeJS supported

Getting started

Installation

In HTML

<script src="datetime.js"></script>

For NodeJS or use with Webpack or modern JS

npm install github:@olton/datetime --save

API

It's easy to use Datetime APIs to parse, validate, manipulate, and display dates and times.

Parse

datetime();
datetime("2020");
datetime("2020-12-31");
datetime("2020-12-31 23:59");
datetime(2020, 12, 31, 23, 59);
datetime([2020, 12, 31, 23, 59]);
Datetime.parse("Mon, 25 Dec 1995 13:30:00 +0430"); // Work same as Date.parse()
Datetime.from("16 November 1961 15:24", "dd mm %y h:i", "en")
Datetime.from("16 Ноября 1961 15:24", "dd mm %y h:i", "ru")

Immutable/mutable

By default, datetime object is mutable. But, You can create immutable variable with method immutable:

var immutableDate = datetime('2020-12-21').immutable();
console.log(immutableDate); // 2020-12-21
console.log(immutableDate.add(1, 'month')); // 2021-01-21 this is a new object
console.log(immutableDate); // 2020-12-21

and return to mutable state

immutableDate.immutable(false); // now immutableDate works as mutable object

Display

datetime().format('{YYYY} MM-DDTHH:mm:ss sss Z A');
datetime().strftime('{%Y} %n-%dT%H:%M:%S %Q %z %p');

Get & set

You can set and get: ms, second, minute, hour, day, month, year, time (timestamp), ...

datetime().set('month', 3).month();
datetime().month(3).month();

Manipulate

You can set: ms, second, minute, hour, day, month, year.

datetime().add(3, 'day').add(1, 'hour');
datetime().addDay(3).addHour(1);

Align (Start From)

You can align date to: second, minute, hour, day, month, year, quarter, week, isoWeek.

datetime().align("year"); // Will alignment to 1st Jan of year
datetime().align("month"); // Will alignment to 1st day of month

Compare

datetime("2020").older("2021"); // return true
datetime("2020").younger("1972"); // return true
datetime("2020").between("2019", "2021"); // return true
datetime("2020-21-12").diff("1972-21-12"); // return {day: 17532, hour: 420768, millisecond: 1514764800000, minute: 25246080, month: 576, second: 1514764800, year: 48}
datetime("2020-21-12").distance("1972-21-12", "year"); // return 48

Information

You can get different additional information about your date: count days in month, count days in year, number of quarter, year is leap, ...

datetime("2020-12-21").dayOfYear(); // return 356
datetime("2020-02-01").daysInMonth(); // return 29
datetime("2020-02-01").quarter(); // return 1
datetime("2020").isLeapYear(); // return true

i18n

Datetime has great support for internationalization. By default, Datetime includes only english locale. You can include many others:

In HTML

<script src="/DATETIME_DIR/datetime.js"></script>
<script src="/DATETIME_DIR/i18n/ru.js"></script>

For NodeJS or use with Webpack or modern JS

import "@olton/datetime";
import "@olton/datetime/i18n/ru";

With locales:

Datetime.fromString("16 Ноября 1961 15:24", "dd mm %y h:i", "ru");
datetime().useLocale('ru').format("DD MMM YYYY"); // 03 Дек 2020

Plugins

You can create plugin and register it with functions Datetime.use() and Datetime.useStatic():

Create plugin

(function(global) {
    'use strict';

    Datetime.use({
        prototypeTest: function(val){
            return 0 === val || val ? val : "test";
        }
    });

    Datetime.useStatic({
        staticTest: function(val){
            return 0 === val || val ? val : "static test";
        }
    });
}());

Include a plugin into page after datetime.js:

<script src="datetime.js"></script>
<script src="plugin.js"></script>

And now use plugin:

<!-- Prototype methods -->
console.log(datetime().prototypeTest());
console.log(datetime().prototypeTest(123));

<!-- static methods  -->
console.log(Datetime.staticTest());
console.log(Datetime.staticTest(456));
