any-date-parser
Advanced tools
The most comprehensive and accurate date parser for Node and browsers. It uses
Intl to provide parsing support for all installed locales.
npm install any-date-parser
OR
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/any-date-parser@2.0.0/dist/browser-bundle.js"></script>
fromString and fromAny now return a MaybeValidDate instance that is a
subclass of Date. Previously, they returned Date | { invalid: string; }.
MaybeValidDate has an invalid property if invalid, and an isValid()
function whether valid or not. If in v1 you simply checked for an invalid
property, v2 will behave the same.Intl global objectThere are three ways to use any-date-parser:
1.) Use the parser object: (Recommended)
parser.fromString(string, locale) - Parses a string and returns a Date
object. It is the same function as in option 1.parser.fromAny(any, locale) - Return a Date object given a Date,
Number or string to parse. It is the same function as in option 1.Example:
import parser from 'any-date-parser';
parser.fromString('2020-10-15');
// same as new Date(2020, 9, 15, 0, 0, 0, 0)
2.) parser also has a function parser.attempt(string, locale) that
returns an object with one or more integer values for the following keys: year,
month, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond, offset. Note month is returned
as a normal 1-based integer, not the 0-based integer the Date() constructor
uses.
Examples:
import parser from 'any-date-parser';
parser.attempt('15 Oct 2020 at 6pm');
/* returns:
{
year: 2020,
month: 10,
day: 15,
hour: 18,
}
*/
parser.attempt('Oct 15');
/* returns:
{
month: 10,
day: 15,
}
*/
parser.attempt('Hello world');
/* returns:
{ invalid: 'Unable to parse "Hello World"' }
*/
parser.attempt('');
/* returns:
{ invalid: 'Unable to parse "(empty string)"' }
*/
3.) Use a new function directly on Date:
Date.fromString(string, locale) - Parses a string and returns a Date
objectDate.fromAny(any, locale) - Return a Date object given a Date, Number
or string to parseExample:
import 'any-date-parser';
Date.fromString('2020-10-15');
// same as new Date(2020, 9, 15, 0, 0, 0, 0)
4.) There are npm packages that integrate any-date-parser directly into popular date libraries:
Summary:
Exhaustive list of date formats
any-date-parser supports any locale that your runtime's
Intl.DateTimeFormat
supports. In browsers that usually means the operating system language. In Node,
that means the compiled language or the icu modules included. For unit tests,
this library uses the full-icu npm package
to make all locales available. That package is heavy and is not included as a
dependency.
This means support for international formats such as:

Gregorian Calendar year.
