The useTemporal hook provides the current date and time using the Temporal API. It automatically updates the date and time every second, ensuring that the component using this hook always displays the most recent time.
- Real-time Updates: The hook updates the current date and time every second.
- Temporal API Integration: Utilizes the Temporal API for precise and reliable date and time handling.
- Ease of Use: Simple to integrate and use in any React component.
npm install temporal-react-hook
import React from 'react';
import { useTemporal } from 'your-package-name';
const App: React.FC = () => {
const now = useTemporal();
return (
<div>
<h1>Current Date and Time</h1>
<p>{now.toString()}</p>
</div>
);
};
export default App;
- Accuracy: Temporal API provides nanosecond precision and handles time zones and calendar systems better than the traditional Date object.
- Simplicity: The hook abstracts the complexity of handling real-time updates, making it easy to display current date and time in your React application.
- Immutable: Temporal objects are immutable, ensuring that each update generates a new instance without modifying the original object.
- Clock Display: Displaying a real-time clock in your application.
- Time-based Events: Triggering actions or displaying messages based on the current time.
- Logging and Monitoring: Showing timestamps for logs or monitoring data in real-time applications.
The useTimeZone hook provides the current time zone and a function to convert a given date-time to a different time zone using the Temporal API.
- Current Time Zone: Provides the current time zone.
- Time Zone Conversion: Converts a given PlainDateTime to a specified time zone.
npm install temporal-react-hook
import React from 'react';
import { useTemporal, useTimeZone } from 'your-package-name';
const App: React.FC = () => {
const now = useTemporal();
const { timeZone, convertToTimeZone } = useTimeZone();
const newYorkDateTime = convertToTimeZone(now, 'America/New_York');
return (
<div>
<h1>Current Date and Time</h1>
<p>{now.toString()}</p>
<h2>Time Zone</h2>
<p>{timeZone.toString()}</p>
<h2>New York Time</h2>
<p>{newYorkDateTime.toString()}</p>
</div>
);
};
export default App;
- Current Time Zone Information The hook provides easy access to the current time zone of the user's environment, allowing your application to adapt to the user's locale without additional configuration.
- Time Zone Conversion: The hook includes a built-in function to convert any given date-time to a specified target time zone, which simplifies handling global time zones in applications. This is particularly useful for applications that display events or schedules across different time zones.
- Simplifies Complex Logic: By abstracting the complexity of time zone handling, this hook makes it easier for developers to implement and maintain code that involves date-time manipulations across different time zones.
The useDuration hook provides utilities for working with durations using the Temporal API. This hook allows users to create durations, perform operations like adding or subtracting them from date-times, and format durations in a human-readable string.
- Create Durations: Easily create durations from various units (e.g., hours, minutes, days).
- Add or Subtract Durations: Perform addition or subtraction of durations to/from date-times.
- Format Durations: Format durations in a human-readable string..
npm install temporal-react-hook
import React from 'react';
import { useTemporal, useTimeZone, useDuration } from 'react-temporal-hooks';
const App: React.FC = () => {
const now = useTemporal();
const { timeZone, convertToTimeZone } = useTimeZone();
const { createDuration, addDuration, subtractDuration, formatDuration } = useDuration();
const newYorkDateTime = convertToTimeZone(now, 'America/New_York');
const duration = createDuration({ hours: 2, minutes: 30 });
const addedDateTime = addDuration(now, duration);
const subtractedDateTime = subtractDuration(now, duration);
return (
<div>
<h1>Current Date and Time</h1>
<p>{now.toString()}</p>
<h2>Time Zone</h2>
<p>{timeZone.toString()}</p>
<h2>New York Time</h2>
<p>{newYorkDateTime.toString()}</p>
<h2>Duration</h2>
<p>{formatDuration(duration)}</p>
<h2>Added Duration</h2>
<p>{addedDateTime.toString()}</p>
<h2>Subtracted Duration</h2>
<p>{subtractedDateTime.toString()}</p>
</div>
);
};
export default App;
- Simplified Duration Management: Easily create and manage durations using the Temporal API.
- Duration Operations: Perform addition and subtraction operations with durations, enhancing date-time manipulation capabilities.
- Improved User Experience: Provides precise duration handling, which is essential for applications that involve scheduling, timers, and time calculations.
