console-timestamp

console-timestamp

It's a simple date formatter for Node.js. Perfect for logging.

There's only one function.

timestamp([format, time]);

Both arguments are optional. You can call it with a string which becomes the format (defaults to hh:mm:ss), while the second argument can be a number or a Date object to print (becomes current time by default). It replaces specific parts of format string:

• YYYY with 4-digit Year
• YY with 2-digit Year
• MM with Month
• DD with Day
• hh with Hours
• mm with Minutes
• ss with Seconds
• iii with Miliseconds

Examples

var timestamp = require('console-timestamp');

var now = new Date();
var number = 478921;

console.log(timestamp()); //15:43:20
console.log(timestamp('DD-MM-YYYY hh:mm:ss:iii')); //04-07-2014 14:32:45:891
console.log(timestamp('[SERVER TIME hh:mm]')); //[SERVER TIME 14:23]
console.log(timestamp(null, number)); //01:07:58
console.log(timestamp('MM-DD hh:mm', now)) //11-27 12:43
