What is dateformat?

The dateformat npm package is a utility for formatting dates. It allows users to format dates using mask tokens, which can be either predefined or custom. It can also convert dates to strings with specified formats, and handle different locales.

What are dateformat's main functionalities?

Basic date formatting

This feature allows you to format a JavaScript date object into a string with a specified format. The code sample shows how to format the current date and time into a more readable string.

const dateFormat = require('dateformat');
const now = new Date();
dateFormat(now, 'dddd, mmmm dS, yyyy, h:MM:ss TT');

Using predefined masks

Predefined masks are built-in formats that can be used to quickly format dates. The code sample demonstrates using the 'longDate' mask to format the current date.

const dateFormat = require('dateformat');
const now = new Date();
dateFormat(now, 'longDate');

UTC date formatting

This feature allows for formatting dates in UTC. The code sample uses the 'isoUtcDateTime' mask to format the current date in ISO UTC format.

const dateFormat = require('dateformat');
const now = new Date();
dateFormat(now, 'isoUtcDateTime');

Custom date formatting

Users can create custom date formats using the formatting tokens provided by the package. The code sample formats the current time using a custom format for hours, minutes, and seconds.

const dateFormat = require('dateformat');
const now = new Date();
dateFormat(now, 'HH:MM:ss');
