@date-io/luxon

What is @date-io/luxon?

@date-io/luxon is a date utility library that provides a consistent API for working with dates and times using the Luxon library. It is commonly used in conjunction with Material-UI pickers to handle date and time operations in a standardized way.

What are @date-io/luxon's main functionalities?

Parsing Dates

This feature allows you to parse dates from various formats. In this example, an ISO date string is parsed into a Luxon DateTime object.

const { DateTime } = require('luxon');
const date = DateTime.fromISO('2023-10-01');
console.log(date.toString());

Formatting Dates

This feature allows you to format dates into different string representations. In this example, the current date is formatted into a 'yyyy LLL dd' format.

const { DateTime } = require('luxon');
const date = DateTime.local();
console.log(date.toFormat('yyyy LLL dd'));

Date Arithmetic

This feature allows you to perform arithmetic operations on dates. In this example, 5 days are added to the current date.

const { DateTime } = require('luxon');
const date = DateTime.local();
const newDate = date.plus({ days: 5 });
console.log(newDate.toString());

Timezone Support

This feature allows you to work with dates in different timezones. In this example, the current date is set to the 'America/New_York' timezone.

const { DateTime } = require('luxon');
const date = DateTime.local().setZone('America/New_York');
console.log(date.toString());

Other packages similar to @date-io/luxon

moment

Moment.js is a widely-used library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. It is similar to Luxon but is considered more heavyweight and has been deprecated in favor of more modern libraries like Luxon.

date-fns

date-fns provides a comprehensive set of functions for working with dates in JavaScript. It is modular and tree-shakeable, making it a lighter alternative to Moment.js and Luxon.

dayjs

Day.js is a minimalist JavaScript library that parses, validates, manipulates, and displays dates and times. It is similar to Moment.js but is much smaller in size and has a largely compatible API.
