Lightweight date time manipulating library.

Installation

Usage

Follow example

var dt = require('dtx');
var now = dt().format('%Y-%m-%d'); // Current date, for example, 2015-01-01
var next_week = dt().add(1, 'week').format('%F'); // Same format as above

Methods

format(pattern)

Return formated string using pattern

• %Y - The year as a decimal number including the century.

• %y - The year as a decimal number without a century (range 00 to 99).

• %m - The month as a decimal number (range 01 to 12).

• %d - The day of the month as a decimal number (range 01 to 31).

• %H - The hour as a decimal number using a 24-hour clock (range 00 to 23).

• %I - The hour as a decimal number using a 12-hour clock (range 01 to 12).

• %M - The minute as a decimal number (range 00 to 59).

• %S - The second as a decimal number (range 00 to 60). (The range is up to 60 to allow for occasional leap seconds.)

• %s - The number of seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC). (TZ)

• %u - The day of the week as a decimal, range 1 to 7, Monday being 1. See also %w. (SU)

• %w - The day of the week as a decimal, range 0 to 6, Sunday being 0. See also %u.

• %p - Either "AM" or "PM" according to the given time value, or the corresponding strings for the current locale. Noon is treated as "PM" and midnight as "AM".

• %P - Like %p but in lowercase: "am" or "pm" or a corresponding string for the current locale. (GNU)

• %D - Equivalent to %m/%d/%y. (Yecch-for Americans only. Americans should note that in other countries %d/%m/%y is rather common. This means that in international context this format is ambiguous and should not be used.) (SU)

• %F - Equivalent to %Y-%m-%d (the ISO 8601 date format). (C99)

• %R - The time in 24-hour notation (%H:%M). (SU) For a version including the seconds, see %T below.

• %r - The time in a.m. or p.m. notation. In the POSIX locale this is equivalent to %I:%M:%S %p. (SU)

• %T - The time in 24-hour notation (%H:%M:%S). (SU)

• %z - The +hhmm or -hhmm numeric timezone (that is, the hour and minute offset from UTC). (SU)

toDate()

Return Date object of current date in object.

add(count, type)

Add count of type (second, minute, houre, day, week, month, year) to current date and returns this.

subtract(count, type)

Alias for add method with negative count value.

diff(dtx, type)

Get diff between two dtx objects. Type can be one of second, minute, houre, day, week, month, year.

For example:

var dtx = require('dtx');

var dt1 = dtx('2015-10-10');
var dt2 = dtx('2015-01-01');

console.log(dt2.diff(dt1, 'days'));
