Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

ft-date-format

ft-date-format provides javascript utilities for formatting and updating dates in FT style.

Usage

JavaScript

ft-date-format#format(date, tpl)

Returns a date formatted as a string

  • date: A javascript Date object or a valid string to pass to the Date constructor
  • tpl: A string specifying what format to output the date in:
    • 'datetime': formats the date in the standard FT long format, including the time. E.g. May 15, 2014 8:10 am
    • 'date': formats the date in the standard FT long format. E.g. May 15, 2014
    • Any other string using widespread conventions for time/date placeholders, which will be replaced with values extracted from the date provided. See ./main.js for an up to date list of supported formats. To avoid e.g. the mm in common being replaced with the month prefix with a double backslash co\\mmon i.e. In most cases custom date formats should not be used, in favour of the standard FT date and datetime formats

ft-date-format#timeAgo(date)

Returns the relative time since the given date, formatted as a human readable string e.g. 13 minutes ago.

ft-date-format#ftTime(date)

Returns relative time or timestamp for a given date, in accordance with FT date formatting conventions.

  • date: A javascript Date object or a valid string to pass to the Date constructor

ft-date-format#asTodayOrYesterdayOrNothing(date)

Returns 'yesterday', 'today' or '' for a given date. You can request this formatting for ft-date-format components by adding data-ft-date-format-format="today-or-yesterday-or-nothing".

  • date: A javascript Date object or a valid string to pass to the Date constructor
