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);
