# dateformat
|
|
|
|
A node.js package for Steven Levithan's excellent [dateFormat()][dateformat] function.
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/felixge/node-dateformat)
|
|
|
|
## Modifications
|
|
|
|
* Removed the `Date.prototype.format` method. Sorry folks, but extending native prototypes is for suckers.
|
|
* Added a `module.exports = dateFormat;` statement at the bottom
|
|
* Added the placeholder `N` to get the ISO 8601 numeric representation of the day of the week
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ npm install dateformat
|
|
$ dateformat --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
As taken from Steven's post, modified to match the Modifications listed above:
|
|
```js
|
|
var dateFormat = require('dateformat');
|
|
var now = new Date();
|
|
|
|
// Basic usage
|
|
dateFormat(now, "dddd, mmmm dS, yyyy, h:MM:ss TT");
|
|
// Saturday, June 9th, 2007, 5:46:21 PM
|
|
|
|
// You can use one of several named masks
|
|
dateFormat(now, "isoDateTime");
|
|
// 2007-06-09T17:46:21
|
|
|
|
// ...Or add your own
|
|
dateFormat.masks.hammerTime = 'HH:MM! "Can\'t touch this!"';
|
|
dateFormat(now, "hammerTime");
|
|
// 17:46! Can't touch this!
|
|
|
|
// You can also provide the date as a string
|
|
dateFormat("Jun 9 2007", "fullDate");
|
|
// Saturday, June 9, 2007
|
|
|
|
// Note that if you don't include the mask argument,
|
|
// dateFormat.masks.default is used
|
|
dateFormat(now);
|
|
// Sat Jun 09 2007 17:46:21
|
|
|
|
// And if you don't include the date argument,
|
|
// the current date and time is used
|
|
dateFormat();
|
|
// Sat Jun 09 2007 17:46:22
|
|
|
|
// You can also skip the date argument (as long as your mask doesn't
|
|
// contain any numbers), in which case the current date/time is used
|
|
dateFormat("longTime");
|
|
// 5:46:22 PM EST
|
|
|
|
// And finally, you can convert local time to UTC time. Simply pass in
|
|
// true as an additional argument (no argument skipping allowed in this case):
|
|
dateFormat(now, "longTime", true);
|
|
// 10:46:21 PM UTC
|
|
|
|
// ...Or add the prefix "UTC:" or "GMT:" to your mask.
|
|
dateFormat(now, "UTC:h:MM:ss TT Z");
|
|
// 10:46:21 PM UTC
|
|
|
|
// You can also get the ISO 8601 week of the year:
|
|
dateFormat(now, "W");
|
|
// 42
|
|
|
|
// and also get the ISO 8601 numeric representation of the day of the week:
|
|
dateFormat(now,"N");
|
|
// 6
|
|
```
