Usage

import {
  format,
  add,
  subtract,
  diff,
  isBefore,
  isAfter,
  startOf,
  fromNow,
} from "daykit";

// Format dates
format(new Date(), "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss"); // "2024-03-21 12:00:00"
format(new Date(), "dddd, MMMM DD, YYYY"); // "Thursday, March 21, 2024"

// Add/subtract time
add(new Date(), 1, "days");
subtract(new Date(), 2, "hours");

// Compare dates
isBefore(date1, date2);
isAfter(date1, date2);

// Get time difference
diff(date1, date2, "days");

// Get start of time unit
startOf(new Date(), "day");

// Get relative time
fromNow(new Date()); // "just now"

API Reference

Date Creation

createMoment(date?: Date | string | number): Date

Creates a new Date object from the input date.

Formatting

format(
  date: Date | string | number,
  fmt?: string,
  options?: FormatOptions
): string

• YYYY: Full year (2024)
• YY: Short year (24)
• MMMM: Full month name (March)
• MMM: Short month name (Mar)
• MM: Month number (03)
• DD: Day of month (21)
• ddd: Short day name (Thu)
• dddd: Full day name (Thursday)
• HH: 24-hour (12)
• hh: 12-hour (12)
• mm: Minutes (00)
• ss: Seconds (00)
• A: AM/PM (PM)
• a: am/pm (pm)

Format options:

interface FormatOptions {
  locale?: string; // Default: "en-US"
  timeZone?: string; // Default: "UTC"
  hour12?: boolean; // Default: auto-detected from format
}

Time Manipulation

add(date: Date | string | number, n: number, unit: TimeUnit): Date
subtract(date: Date | string | number, n: number, unit: TimeUnit): Date

Supported time units:

• days
• hours
• minutes
• seconds
• milliseconds

Date Comparison

diff(date1: Date | string | number, date2: Date | string | number, unit?: TimeUnit): number
isBefore(date1: Date | string | number, date2: Date | string | number): boolean
isAfter(date1: Date | string | number, date2: Date | string | number): boolean

Timezone Support

getAvailableTimezones(): string[]
getTimezoneInfo(date: Date | string | number, timeZone: string): TimezoneInfo
isDST(timeZone: string): boolean
getDSTTransitions(timeZone: string, year?: number): { start: Date | null; end: Date | null }
toTimezone(date: Date | string | number, timeZone: string): Date
getTimezoneOffset(date: Date | string | number, timeZone: string): number

Timezone information:

interface TimezoneInfo {
  name: string; // Timezone name
  offset: number; // Offset in minutes
  isDST: boolean; // Whether in DST
  abbreviation: string; // Timezone abbreviation
}

Locale Support

getAvailableLocales(): string[]

Time Unit Operations

startOf(date: Date | string | number, unit: "day" | "hour" | "minute"): Date

Relative Time

fromNow(
  date: Date | string | number,
  now?: Date | string | number,
  options?: FormatOptions
): string

Examples

Basic Formatting

import { format } from "daykit";

// Basic date format
format(new Date(), "YYYY-MM-DD"); // "2024-03-21"

// Full date and time
format(new Date(), "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss"); // "2024-03-21 12:00:00"

// With day and month names
format(new Date(), "dddd, MMMM DD, YYYY"); // "Thursday, March 21, 2024"

Timezone Handling

import { format, getTimezoneInfo } from "daykit";

// Format in different timezones
format(new Date(), "HH:mm", { timeZone: "UTC" }); // "12:00"
format(new Date(), "HH:mm", { timeZone: "America/New_York" }); // "08:00"

// Get timezone information
const info = getTimezoneInfo(new Date(), "America/New_York");
console.log(info);
// {
//   name: "America/New_York",
//   offset: -240,
//   isDST: true,
//   abbreviation: "EDT"
// }

Locale Support

import { format } from "daykit";

// English (US)
format(new Date(), "dddd, MMMM DD", { locale: "en-US" });
// "Thursday, March 21"

// Vietnamese
format(new Date(), "dddd, MMMM DD", { locale: "vi-VN" });
// "Thứ Năm, Tháng 3 21"

Date Manipulation

import { add, subtract, diff } from "daykit";

const date = new Date();

// Add time
add(date, 1, "days"); // Add one day
add(date, 2, "hours"); // Add two hours

// Subtract time
subtract(date, 1, "days"); // Subtract one day

// Get difference
diff(date1, date2, "days"); // Get difference in days

DST Handling

import { getDSTTransitions, isDST } from "daykit";

// Check if timezone is in DST
isDST("America/New_York"); // true/false

// Get DST transition dates
const transitions = getDSTTransitions("America/New_York", 2024);
console.log(transitions);
// {
//   start: Date("2024-03-10T07:00:00Z"),
//   end: Date("2024-11-03T06:00:00Z")
// }
