About The Project

There are many great libraries to calculate time & dates and often they offer you a set of tools that lets you build your code, but sometimes your are struggling to find that specific function that do what you wants to do in your code while you trying to write the less code possible or not to spend too much time on it. Keep it simple!

That´s WHY you should start using Date-Simplify instead! or at least give it a try

Built With

• date-fns

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• npm

  npm install @jmjhox/date-simplify

• Javascript/Typescript project to integrate our library

Installation

We only have to import "DateSimplify" into our proyect like a dependency:

import { dateSimplify } from '@jmjhox/date-simplify'

Below it is a example of how you import it to your component.ts using Angular 13:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { dateSimplify } from '@jmjhox/date-simplify'
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit{
  constructor(){}
  ngOnInit(): void
  {
     dateSimplify.dateFormat('12/12/1998')
  }
}

Usage

getAgeLimitOnUTC

Is a method used to get the age limit of the user based on the actual date of the year or a custom date you want to use it from reference using UTC

How to use it

It has two parameters:

getAgeLimitOnUTC(dateRange: number, ChangeDate?: string)

dateRange: number(the number you want to limit)
ChangeDate?: string (the date you migh want to use from reference, the format is dd/mm/yyyy)

getAgeLimitOnLocal

Is a method used to get the age limit of the user based on the actual date of the year or a custom date you want to use it from reference using your local time

How to use it

It has two parameters:

getAgeLimitOnLocal(dateRange: number, ChangeDate?: string)

dateRange: number(the number you want to limit)
ChangeDate?: string (the date you migh want to use from reference, the format is dd/mm/yyyy)

dateFormat

Is a method that formats any kind of date to the want desired for the user, if for some reasons, the date is impossible to get, it returns the same date introduced.

Structure

dateFormat(
  dateRequest: string, 
  formatStyle: string)

dateRequest is the date introduced on string format. it is a experimental feature, for now this kind of format is permitted to be used: 02-23-1998 02/23/1998 02231998

formatStyle is the type of date you want to be returned or formatted, this is a list of formats you migh want to use: ddMMyyyy dd-MM-yyyy dd/MM/yyyy ISO UNIX

Take in consideration that some formats as ddMMyyyy, dd-MM-yyyy and ISO returns a string on response using this function, meanwhile UNIX format returns a number on response. Formats like dd.MM.yyyy , MM.dd.yyyy and other kind, we are working to this combinations be implemented on our next release, for now it is not being supported.

How to use it

ddMMyyyy

dateSimplify.dateFormat('02-23-1998', 'ddMMyyyy')

It should Return 02231998 on string format.

dd-MM-yyyy

dateSimplify.dateFormat('02-23-1998', 'dd-MM-yyyy')

It should Return 02-23-1998 on string format.

ISO

dateSimplify.dateFormat('02-23-1998', 'ISO')

It should Return 1998-02-23T05:00:00.000Z on string format.

UNIX

dateSimplify.dateFormat('02-23-1998', 'UNIX')

It should Return 888192000000 on number format.

unixFormat

Is a method that formats any kind of date to the want desired for the user, using UNIX format to be handled.

Structure

unixFormat(
  dateRequest: number, 
  formatStyle: string)

dateRequest is the date introduced on string format. it is a experimental feature, for now this kind of format is permitted to be used: 1648313180

formatStyle is the type of date you want to be returned or formatted, this is a list of formats you migh want to use: ddMMyyyy dd-MM-yyyy dd/MM/yyyy

dateIsValid

method to check if a date is valid or not. it only returns false or true.

dateIsValidFix

Checks if the date is valid, and attempts to fix the date automatically for yourself
