What are @date-io/moment's main functionalities?
Parsing Dates
This feature allows you to parse dates from strings or other formats into Moment.js date objects.
const moment = require('moment');
const { default: MomentUtils } = require('@date-io/moment');
const momentUtils = new MomentUtils();
const date = momentUtils.date('2023-10-01');
console.log(date.format());
Formatting Dates
This feature allows you to format Moment.js date objects into strings according to a specified format.
const moment = require('moment');
const { default: MomentUtils } = require('@date-io/moment');
const momentUtils = new MomentUtils();
const date = momentUtils.date('2023-10-01');
const formattedDate = momentUtils.format(date, 'YYYY-MM-DD');
console.log(formattedDate);
Adding and Subtracting Time
This feature allows you to add or subtract time units (days, months, years, etc.) from a Moment.js date object.
const moment = require('moment');
const { default: MomentUtils } = require('@date-io/moment');
const momentUtils = new MomentUtils();
const date = momentUtils.date('2023-10-01');
const newDate = momentUtils.add(date, 1, 'day');
console.log(newDate.format());
Comparing Dates
This feature allows you to compare two Moment.js date objects to see if one is before or after the other.
const moment = require('moment');
const { default: MomentUtils } = require('@date-io/moment');
const momentUtils = new MomentUtils();
const date1 = momentUtils.date('2023-10-01');
const date2 = momentUtils.date('2023-10-02');
const isBefore = momentUtils.isBefore(date1, date2);
console.log(isBefore);
