D - A Date Utility Class

The D class is a utility class for working with dates in JavaScript. It provides several convenient methods and properties for getting and formatting dates.

Installation

npm install @gramsay7/date-lib

Usage

First, import the D class from the package:

import D from '@gramsay7/date-lib';

Then, you can create a new D object:

const d = new D(2017, 8, 2, 3, 4, 5); // September 2, 2017 03:04:05

You can use the getters to get various parts of the date:

console.log(d.year); // 2017
console.log(d.yr); // 17
console.log(d.month); // September
console.log(d.mon); // Sep
console.log(d.day); // Saturday
console.log(d.dy); // Sat
console.log(d.date); // 2
console.log(d.hours); // 3
console.log(d.mins); // 4
console.log(d.secs); // 5
console.log(d.ordinal); // 2nd

You can use the format method to format the date:

console.log(d.format('Y-M-D h:i:s')); // 2017-September-02 03:04:05

You can use the when method to get a human-readable description of when the date will occur:

console.log(d.when()); // 4 years ago (assuming the current date is in 2021)

Tests

To run the tests for the D class, use the following command:
