moment.js template helpers for Ember.js
This addon provides Ember-specific Helpers and a Service that make it convenient to use Moment.js in your templates. If you just want to call Moment.js directly from Javascript, you don't need this addon.
The recommended way to use Moment.js in an Ember app is:
moment or moment-timezone to your dependencies.ember-auto-import in your dependencies.ember-cli-moment-shim in your dependencies (it would add a redundant copy).import moment from 'moment' or import moment from 'moment-timezone'.The recommended way to use Moment.js in an Ember addon is:
moment or moment-timezone to your peerDependencies. This ensures that your addon and the app must use the same copy.devDependencies so your own test suite satisfies the peerDep.ember-cli-moment-shim.ember-auto-import.Moment itself is no longer actively developed and new projects should not add it. You can look at alternative libraries like Luxon, or better yet keep an eye on Temporal which is likely to add moment-like capabilities directly to Javascript quite soon.
Apps should configure their locale and timezone support (which can have a large impact on bundle size) by following Moment's documentation about Webpack:
and passing the resulting webpack configuration to either ember-auto-import or Embroider. For example:
const MomentLocalesPlugin = require('moment-locales-webpack-plugin');
const MomentTimezoneDataPlugin = require('moment-timezone-data-webpack-plugin');
module.exports = function (defaults) {
let app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
autoImport: {
webpack: {
plugins: [
new MomentLocalesPlugin({
// 'en' is built into moment and cannot be removed. This strips the others.
localesToKeep: [],
}),
new MomentTimezoneDataPlugin({
// Keep timezone data for the US, covering all possible years.
matchCountries: 'US',
}),
],
},
},
});

{{moment <date>}}
| Parameters | Values |
|---|---|
<date> | Any value(s) interpretable as a date/time by moment (a date String or a Moment or a Date...) |
Returns a Moment.
Example
{{moment '12-25-1995' 'MM-DD-YYYY'}} {{!-- Mon Dec 25 1995 00:00:00 GMT-0500 --}}
{{utc <date>}}
{{utc}}
| Parameters | Values |
|---|---|
<date> | Any value(s) interpretable as a date/time by moment (a date String or a Moment or a Date...) |
Returns a Moment with utc mode set.
Example
{{utc '2001-10-31T08:24:56'}} {{!-- Wed Oct 31 2001 08:24:56 GMT+0000 --}}
{{utc}} {{!-- current time utc, like Mon Feb 12 2018 20:33:08 GMT+0000 --}}
{{utc (moment '2018-01-01T00:00:00+01:00' 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ssZ')}} {{!-- Sun Dec 31 2017 23:00:00 GMT+0000 --}}
{{moment-format <date> [outputFormat=moment.defaultFormat [<inputFormat>]]}}
| Parameters | Values |
|---|---|
<date> | Any value(s) interpretable as a date/time by moment (a date String or a Moment or a Date...) |
outputFormat | An optional date/time String output format, defaults to moment.defaultFormat which you must explicitly define |
<inputFormat> | An optional date/time String input format |
Formats a <date> to an optional outputFormat from an optional inputFormat. If the inputFormat is not provided, the date String is parsed on a best effort basis. If the outputFormat is not given the global moment.defaultFormat is used. Typically, outputFormat and inputFormat are given. See momentjs#format.
NOTE: for all other helpers, the input format string is the second argument.
Example
{{moment-format '12-1995-25' 'MM/DD/YYYY' 'MM-YYYY-DD'}} {{!-- 12/25/1995 --}}
{{moment-from <dateA> [<dateB>] [hideAffix=false]}}

hideAffix | An optional Boolean to hide the relative prefix/suffix or not. |
Returns the time between <dateA> and <dateB> relative to <dateB>. See momentjs#from.
Note that moment-from-now is just a more verbose moment-from without dateB. You don't need to use it anymore.

Returns the present Moment.
Examples
{{!-- date at time of writing }}
{{now}} {{!-- Sat Jan 27 2018 11:59:31 GMT-0500 --}}
{{!-- interval is a common named parameter (see the corresponding section) }}
{{now interval=1000}} {{!-- <current date and updating every 1-second (1000 milliseconds).> --}}
{{unix <timestamp>}}
| Parameters | Values |
|---|---|
<timestamp> | An integer Number or String value representing the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 12AM UTC) |
Returns a Moment corresponding to the <timestamp>.
Examples
{{unix '1516586508'}} {{!-- Sun Jan 21 2018 21:01:48 GMT-0500 --}}
{{!-- Warning: Passing a literal integer value does not work --}}
{{unix 1516586508}} {{!-- Invalid date --}}
All helpers accept the following optional named arguments (even though they are not always applicable):
| Parameters | Values |
|---|---|
locale | An optional String locale, to override the default global moment.locale |
timeZone | An optional String time zone, defaults to moment.timeZone (the default time zone) |
interval | An optional interval Number of milliseconds when the helper should be recomputed |
allow-empty | An optional Boolean to ignore the Invalid date output when knowingly passing null, undefined, or '', defaults to false |
Note that interval does not recompute the value of the helper parameters, unless it is
part of a helper that is a value in which case it is useful for "live" updating as time elapses.
Warning: allow-empty is currently inconsistent and should not always be trusted.
Examples
{{now interval=1000}} {{!-- <current date and updating every 1-second (1000 milliseconds)> --}}
{{is-before (now) '2018-01-26' interval=60000}} {{!-- if this was true initially, it will always be true despite interval --}}
{{moment-format '' allow-empty=true}} {{!-- <nothing> --}}
Your application may require a default format other than the default, ISO 8601. For example, you may want dates to fallback on the localized shorthand format L by default.
// config/environment.js
module.exports = function() {
return {
'ember-moment': {
outputFormat: 'L'
}
}
};
If you need to change the default format during runtime, use the service API. Doing so will cause the moment-format helper instances to re-render with the new default format.
// app/controller/index.js
export default Ember.Controller.extend({
moment: Ember.inject.service(),
actions: {
changeDefaultFormat() {
this.set('moment.defaultFormat', 'MM.DD.YYYY');
}
}
})
If null, undefined, or an empty string are passed as a date to any of the moment helpers then you will get Invalid Date in the output. To avoid this issue globally, you can set the option allowEmpty which all of the helpers respect and will result in nothing being rendered instead of Invalid Date.
// config/environment.js
module.exports = function() {
return {
'ember-moment': {
allowEmpty: true // default: false
}
}
};
// app/routes/applicaton.js
export default Ember.Route.extend({
moment: Ember.inject.service(),
beforeModel() {
this.get('moment').setLocale('es');
}
});
// app/routes/applicaton.js
export default Ember.Route.extend({
moment: Ember.inject.service(),
beforeModel() {
this.get('moment').setTimeZone('America/Los_Angeles');
}
});
Invalid Dateis being rendered into the DOM, how do I avoid this?
An invalid date string is being passed into momentjs and/or the input string format was omitted.
If you are knowingly passing null, undefined, or an empty string and want to ignore the output of Invalid Date then pass the option allow-empty=true to the helper (all helpers accept this property)
{{moment-format ''}} {{!-- Invalid date --}}
{{moment-format '' allow-empty=true}} {{!-- <nothing> --}}
