TypeScript definitions for d3-time-format
@types/d3-time-format provides TypeScript type definitions for the d3-time-format library, which is part of the D3.js suite of modules. This library is used for parsing and formatting dates and times in JavaScript, making it easier to handle date and time data in a consistent and locale-aware manner.
Formatting Dates
This feature allows you to format dates into human-readable strings using a specified format string. The format string can include various placeholders for different parts of the date.
const d3 = require('d3-time-format');
const formatTime = d3.timeFormat('%B %d, %Y');
console.log(formatTime(new Date())); // Outputs: 'October 05, 2023'
Parsing Dates
This feature allows you to parse date strings into JavaScript Date objects using a specified format string. This is useful for converting string representations of dates into Date objects for further manipulation.
const d3 = require('d3-time-format');
const parseTime = d3.timeParse('%Y-%m-%d');
console.log(parseTime('2023-10-05')); // Outputs: Thu Oct 05 2023 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)
Locale-Specific Formatting
This feature allows you to create locale-specific date and time formats. You can define custom formats for dates, times, periods, days, and months, which can be used to format dates in a way that is specific to a particular locale.
const d3 = require('d3-time-format');
const locale = d3.timeFormatLocale({
dateTime: '%x, %X',
date: '%-m/%-d/%Y',
time: '%-I:%M:%S %p',
periods: ['AM', 'PM'],
days: ['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'],
shortDays: ['Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat'],
months: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'],
shortMonths: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']
});
const formatTime = locale.format('%A, %B %d, %Y');
console.log(formatTime(new Date())); // Outputs: 'Thursday, October 05, 2023'
