#ambit
So it turns out I couldn't find anything out there that parsed a date string in nominally plain English and returned a date range. This is a WIP attempt at doing so. Requires moment.
#use
var ambit = require('ambit'); //ambit is moment + ambit now;
var range = ambit.ambit('Spring 2005');
range will now either be undefined (unparseable input) or an object w/ a start and end attribute, which will be moment objects representing the start and end range of the input.
##formatting
var ambit = require('ambit');
var range = ambit.ambit('Sept 2020', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
the start and end attributes will now be strings formatted YYYY-MM-DD
That's about it for now, it's pretty basic, probably has lots of edge-case bugs, and needs more tests.
