occasion

A date formatting library based on moment.js. By only doing date formatting it is kept really small, and by not dealing with times, it avoids having to deal with time zones. Pass in your date as a string in the form YYYY-MM-DD and get it in a nice format to display to your users.

Installation

npm install occasion

Usage

var formatDate = require('occasion');
 
assert.deepEqual(formatDate('2014-06-01', 'Do MMM YYYY'), '1st Jun 2014');
assert.deepEqual(formatDate('2014-06-01', 'ddd D MMM'), 'Sun 1 Jun');
