CDP

Conversational date parser

Performs context aware parsing of strings like 'year to date' or 'Q3 2020' or 'march-april'.

Installation

npm install --save conversational-date-parser
npm run test

Usage

const Cdp=require("conversational-date-parser");

let cdp=new CDP();
let result=cdp.parse("March through April 2015"); // [{"year":2015,"month":3,"day":1},{"year":2015,"month":4, "day":30}]

Notes

CDP.parse() returns an array that is either empty, or contains two elements representing the range inferred by the text input. Input like "today" will result in a one-day date range; calling .toDate() on each result item will result in a Date() object that represents the first millisecond and the last millisecond of that day, respectively.

Todo

• Remove dependency on moment.js
• Finish documenting index.js
• Add build task for compiling documentation
• Clean up one of the tests that is not a unit test
• Add more cases ("thursday through friday", etc)
