date-fns provides the most comprehensive, yet simple and consistent toolset for manipulating JavaScript dates in a browser & Node.js.
date-fns is like lodash for dates. It has 140+ functions for all occasions.
dateFns.format(new Date(2014, 1, 11), 'MM/DD/YYYY')
//=> '02/11/2014'
var dates = [new Date(1995, 6, 2), new Date(1987, 1, 11), new Date(1989, 6, 10)]
dates.sort(dateFns.compareAsc)
//=> [
// Wed Feb 11 1987 00:00:00,
// Mon Jul 10 1989 00:00:00,
// Sun Jul 02 1995 00:00:00
