@types/moment

What is @types/moment?

@types/moment provides TypeScript type definitions for the Moment.js library, which is used for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates.

What are @types/moment's main functionalities?

Parsing Dates

This feature allows you to parse dates from strings into Moment.js objects, which can then be manipulated or formatted as needed.

const moment = require('moment');
const date = moment('2023-10-01');
console.log(date.format('YYYY-MM-DD'));

Formatting Dates

This feature allows you to format Moment.js date objects into human-readable strings using various format tokens.

const moment = require('moment');
const date = moment();
console.log(date.format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a'));

Manipulating Dates

This feature allows you to manipulate dates by adding or subtracting time units such as days, months, or years.

const moment = require('moment');
let date = moment();
date = date.add(7, 'days');
console.log(date.format('YYYY-MM-DD'));

Validating Dates

This feature allows you to validate whether a given date string conforms to a specified format.

const moment = require('moment');
const isValid = moment('2023-10-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD', true).isValid();
console.log(isValid);

Other packages similar to @types/moment

date-fns

date-fns provides a comprehensive set of functions for working with dates in JavaScript. It is modular and allows you to import only the functions you need, which can result in smaller bundle sizes compared to Moment.js.

luxon

Luxon is a modern JavaScript library for working with dates and times. It is built on top of the native JavaScript Date object and provides a more comprehensive and immutable API compared to Moment.js.

dayjs

Day.js is a minimalist JavaScript library that is similar to Moment.js but with a much smaller footprint. It aims to be a drop-in replacement for Moment.js with a similar API but better performance and smaller size.

README

This is a stub types definition for Moment (https://github.com/moment/moment). Moment provides its own type definitions, so you don't need @types/moment installed!
