Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

3- Calendars

You only need to import Calendar if you want to use a calendar other than Gregorian.

* Due to the use of conventional calculations in the Jalali calendar, converting a date to a Jalali calendar from other calendars may differ by one day compared to the Persian (solar Hijri) calendar.

3-1- Persian Calendar (Solar Hijri)

var DateObject = require("date-object");
var persian = require("date-object/calendars/cjs/persian");

var date = new DateObject({ calendar: persian });

console.log(date.format()); //1400/03/20

3-2- Arabic Calendar (Islamic Hijri)

var DateObject = require("date-object");
var arabic = require("date-object/calendars/cjs/arabic");

var date = new DateObject({ calendar: arabic });

console.log(date.format()); //1442/10/29

3-3- Indian Calendar

var DateObject = require("date-object");
var indian = require("date-object/calendars/cjs/indian");

var date = new DateObject({ calendar: indian });

console.log(date.format()); //1943/03/20

4- Locales

You only need to import Locale if you want to use a locale other than En.

4-1- Persian Calendar, Farsi Locale

var DateObject = require("date-object");
var persian = require("date-object/calendars/cjs/persian");
var persian_fa = require("date-object/locales/cjs/persian_fa");

var date = new DateObject({ calendar: persian, locale: persian_fa });

console.log(date.format()); //۱۴۰۰/۰۳/۲۰

4-2- Arabic Calendar, Arabic Locale

var DateObject = require("date-object");
var arabic = require("date-object/calendars/cjs/arabic");
var arabic_ar = require("date-object/locales/cjs/arabic_ar");

var date = new DateObject({ calendar: arabic, locale: arabic_ar });

console.log(date.format()); //١٤٤٢/١٠/٢٩

4-3- Indiann Calendar, Hindi Locale

var DateObject = require("date-object");
var indian = require("date-object/calendars/cjs/indian");
var indian_hi = require("date-object/locales/cjs/indian_hi");

var date = new DateObject({ calendar: indian, locale: indian_hi });

console.log(date.format()); //१९४३/०३/२०

5- Examples

5-1- new instance

5-1-1- String (year month day hour minute second millisecond meridiem)

5-2- convert(calendar:Calendar, locale?:Locale)

If you use the convert method without argument, the date will be converted to Gregorian calendar.

The second argument (Locale) is optional.

var DateObject = require("date-object");
var gregorian = require("date-object/calendars/cjs/gregorian");
var persian = require("date-object/calendars/cjs/persian");
var arabic = require("date-object/calendars/cjs/arabic");
var indian = require("date-object/calendars/cjs/indian");

var date = new DateObject();

console.log(date.format()); //2020/10/31

date.convert(persian);
console.log(date.format()); //1399/08/10

date.convert(arabic);
console.log(date.format()); //1442/03/14

date.convert(indian);
console.log(date.format()); //1942/08/09

date.convert(gregorian); //or date.convert()
console.log(date.format()); //2020/10/31

5-3- format(token:String)

default format is YYYY/MM/DD. to see all format types click here

var DateObject = require("date-object");
var date = new DateObject();

consoel.log(date.format()); //2020/10/31
consoel.log(date.format("MM/DD/YYYY")); //10/31/2020
consoel.log(date.format("MMM/DD/YYYY HH:mm:ss")); //Oct/31/2020 18:17:28
consoel.log(date.format("dddd DD MMMM YYYY, hh:mm:ss A")); //Saturday 31 October 2020, 06:19:18 PM
consoel.log(date.format("ddd DD MMM YYYY, hh:mm a")); //Sat 31 Oct 2020, 06:20 pm

formatting with ignore list:

var DateObject = require("date-object");
var date = new DateObject();

console.log(
  date.format("hours:HH minutes:mm seconds:ss", ["hours", "minutes", "seconds"])
); //hours:12 minutes:22 seconds:40

console.log(date.format("it's HH o'clock", ["it's", "o'clock"])); //it's 12 o'clock

console.log(
  date.format(`DD MMMM at hh:mm ${date.hour >= 12 ? "Afternoon" : "Morning"}`, [
    "at",
    "Afternoon",
    "Morning",
  ])
); //11 November at 12:22 Afternoon

 */

5-12- custom months, week days & digits

See the example below in case you want to use your personal data instead of default months, week days & digits

var DateObject = require("date-object");
var date = new DateObject();

console.log(date.format("MMMM MMM")); //November Nov
console.log(date.format("dddd ddd")); //Monday Mon
console.log(date.format("D")); //2

date.months = [
  ["jan", "j"], //[["name","shortName"], ... ]
  ["feb", "f"],
  ["mar", "m"],
  ["apr", "a"],
  ["may", "m"],
  ["jun", "j"],
  ["jul", "j"],
  ["aug", "a"],
  ["sep", "s"],
  ["oct", "o"],
  ["nov", "n"],
  ["dec", "d"],
];

date.weekDays = [
  ["su", "s"], //[["name","shortName"], ... ]
  ["mo", "m"],
  ["tu", "t"],
  ["we", "w"],
  ["th", "t"],
  ["fr", "f"],
  ["sa", "s"],
];

/**
 * This is just a test to display digits.
 * The Greek number system does not work like this.
 */
date.digits = ["", "I", "II", "III", "IV", "V", "VI", "VII", "VIII", "IX"];

console.log(date.format("MMMM MMM")); //nov n
console.log(date.format("dddd ddd")); //mo m
console.log(date.format("D")); //II

console.log(date.month);

/**
 *{
 * name: 'nov',
 * shortName: 'n',
 * length: 30,
 * index: 10,
 * number: 11,
 * toString: [Function (anonymous)]
 * valueOf: [Function: valueOf]
 *}
 */

console.log(date.weekDay);

/**
 *{
 * name: 'mo',
 * shortName: 'm'
 * index: 1,
 * number: 2,
 * toString: [Function: toString],
 * valueOf: [Function: valueOf]
 *}
 */

console.log(date.digits);

/**
 * [
 *  '',    'I',   'II',
 *  'III', 'IV',  'V',
 *  'VI',  'VII', 'VIII',
 *  'IX'
 * ]
 */

You can use date.setMonths(months).setWeekDays(weekDays).setDigits(digits) as well
