ddday

ddday

Provides a double-digit representation for the requested day of a month.

Naming

As the naming reveals ddday stands for double-digit representation of a month's day. Of course, "two-digit" sounds better than "double-digit", but the latter makes the final abbreviation more funny :bowtie: .

Reason

Javascript's Date object returns by default the numerical representation of a month's day without providing any option to easily format it. As user, I would like to have a universal formatting among days of the month (i.e. I would like the 9th of a month to be displayed as "09" and not as "9", because there are cases where either it is not always easy to modify your data or you simply do not want to.

Install

npm install -g ddday

Use

// load the module
var ddday = require('ddday');

// example: 9th is represented with '9'. Convert it to '09'
ddday(new Date().getDate()) // returns '09', if current day is the 9th of the month
