time-stamp
Advanced tools
The time-stamp npm package is designed to create formatted timestamps. It allows users to generate timestamps based on the current date and time in a customizable format. This can be particularly useful for logging, file naming, or any other scenario where time-based identifiers are needed.
Generating current date in default format
By default, time-stamp can generate the current date in the 'YYYY/MM/DD' format. This is useful for quickly obtaining a standardized date format without any configuration.
"YYYY/MM/DD"Custom formatting of date and time
time-stamp allows for custom formatting of the date and time, enabling users to specify the exact format they need. This feature supports a wide range of tokens for years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.
"YYYY:MM:DD HH:mm:ss.ms"Moment.js is a comprehensive date handling library that allows for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. Compared to time-stamp, Moment.js offers a broader set of functionalities for dealing with dates and times, including support for time zones and localization.
date-fns provides a collection of simple, pure functions for performing various operations on dates. It's modular, allowing users to pick and choose which functions they need. While time-stamp focuses on generating timestamps, date-fns offers more general-purpose date manipulation and formatting capabilities.
Day.js is a lightweight date library that offers a similar API to Moment.js. It's designed to be immutable and chainable, making it easy to parse, validate, manipulate, and display dates and times. Compared to time-stamp, Day.js provides a more comprehensive solution for date handling while maintaining a small footprint.
