Day.js Extended

Fast 2kB alternative to Moment.js with the same modern API

(This is an extended fork of the original project.)

Day.js is a minimalist JavaScript library that parses, validates, manipulates, and displays dates and times for modern browsers with a largely Moment.js-compatible API. If you use Moment.js, you already know how to use Day.js.

dayjs().startOf('month').add(1, 'day').set('year', 2018).format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss');

• 🕒 Familiar Moment.js API & patterns
• 💪 Immutable
• 🔥 Chainable
• 🌐 I18n support
• 📦 2kb mini library
• 👫 All browsers supported

Extensions to the original project

• New plugin "localizableFormat" to format dates according to the chosen locale.
• New plugin "timeZone" to parse from and format to a date string using a time zone specified by its canonical name.
• Corrected plugin "relativeTime" honouring grammar rules of the supported languages.
• "UTC mode" for working in UTC, or for working with date-only values without the time part.
• Additional locales (cs, sk).
• Check for dayjs instance by the instanceof operator.

Getting Started

Installation

npm install dayjs-ext --save

📚Installation Guide

API

It's easy to use Day.js APIs to parse, validate, manipulate, and display dates and times.

dayjs('2018-08-08') // parse

dayjs().format('{YYYY} MM-DDTHH:mm:ss SSS [Z] A') // display

dayjs().set('month', 3).month() // get & set

dayjs().add(1, 'year') // manipulate

dayjs().isBefore(dayjs()) // query

📚API Reference

I18n

Day.js has great support for internationalization.

But none of them will be included in your build unless you use it.

import 'dayjs-ext/locale/es' // load on demand

dayjs.locale('es') // use Spanish locale globally

dayjs('2018-05-05').locale('zh-cn').format() // use Chinese Simplified locale in a specific instance

📚Internationalization

Plugin

A plugin is an independent module that can be added to Day.js to extend functionality or add new features.

import timeZone from 'dayjs-ext/plugin/timeZone' // load on demand

dayjs.extend(timeZone) // use plugin

dayjs().format('D.M.YYYY H:mm',
  { timeZone: 'Europe/Berlin' }) // convert to CET before formatting
