format-string-by-pattern
Overview
This module consists on a function that takes a pattern and a value and then returns this value formatted according to the pattern. It probably won't work with every pattern tho.
Why?
I was writing one specific function to each formatted value I had to obtain from an input and that sucks, so I decided to try write a function to format any value based on any pattern. This is my attempt. 😃
Other solutions
There is probably other solutions to these problems. If you know any other solution, feel free to open a PR adding it to the README.md.
Usage
const formatStringByPattern = require('format-string-by-pattern');
formatStringByPattern('YYYY-MM-DD', '20180508');
formatStringByPattern('2018-05-08', '20151217');
NOTE: The returned value will be sliced to the size of the pattern.
