Package description

What is fecha?

The 'fecha' npm package is a lightweight JavaScript library for parsing, formatting, and manipulating dates. It provides a simple and flexible API for handling date and time operations.

What are fecha's main functionalities?

Date Formatting

This feature allows you to format JavaScript Date objects into strings using various format patterns. The example formats the current date into 'YYYY-MM-DD' format.

const fecha = require('fecha');
const formattedDate = fecha.format(new Date(), 'YYYY-MM-DD');
console.log(formattedDate); // Outputs: 2023-10-05

Date Parsing

This feature allows you to parse date strings into JavaScript Date objects using specified format patterns. The example parses the string '2023-10-05' into a Date object.

const fecha = require('fecha');
const parsedDate = fecha.parse('2023-10-05', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
console.log(parsedDate); // Outputs: Thu Oct 05 2023 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

Custom Formatting Tokens

This feature allows you to define custom formatting tokens for date formatting. The example defines a custom token 'custom' for time formatting and uses it to format the current time.

const fecha = require('fecha');
fecha.masks.custom = 'HH:mm:ss';
const customFormattedDate = fecha.format(new Date(), 'custom');
console.log(customFormattedDate); // Outputs: current time in 'HH:mm:ss' format

Formatting

format accepts a Date object (or timestamp) and a string format and returns a formatted string. See below for available format tokens.

Note: format will throw an error when passed invalid parameters

import { format } from 'fecha';

type format = (date: Date, format?: string, i18n?: I18nSettings) => str;

// Custom formats
format(new Date(2015, 10, 20), 'dddd MMMM Do, YYYY'); // 'Friday November 20th, 2015'
format(new Date(1998, 5, 3, 15, 23, 10, 350), 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.SSS A'); // '1998-06-03 03:23:10.350 PM'

// Named masks
format(new Date(2015, 10, 20), 'isoDate'); // '2015-11-20'
format(new Date(2015, 10, 20), 'mediumDate'); // 'Nov 20, 2015'
format(new Date(2015, 10, 20, 3, 2, 1), 'isoDateTime'); // '2015-11-20T03:02:01-05:00'
format(new Date(2015, 2, 10, 5, 30, 20), 'shortTime'); // '05:30'

// Literals
format(new Date(2001, 2, 5, 6, 7, 2, 5), '[on] MM-DD-YYYY [at] HH:mm'); // 'on 03-05-2001 at 06:07'
Parsing

parse accepts a Date string and a string format and returns a Date object. See below for available format tokens.

NOTE: parse will throw an error when passed invalid string format or missing format. You MUST specify a format.

import { parse } from 'fecha';

type parse = (dateStr: string, format: string, i18n?: I18nSettingsOptional) => Date|null;

// Custom formats
parse('February 3rd, 2014', 'MMMM Do, YYYY'); // new Date(2014, 1, 3)
parse('10-12-10 14:11:12', 'YY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'); // new Date(2010, 11, 10, 14, 11, 12)

// Named masks
parse('5/3/98', 'shortDate'); // new Date(1998, 4, 3)
parse('November 4, 2005', 'longDate'); // new Date(2005, 10, 4)
parse('2015-11-20T03:02:01-05:00', 'isoDateTime'); // new Date(2015, 10, 20, 3, 2, 1)

// Override i18n
parse('4 de octubre de 1983', 'M de MMMM de YYYY', {
  monthNames: [
    'enero',
