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 🙏

timeInterpreter

Parse a human readable time string into a canonical format:

date     -> ISO8601: 2020-11-11T00:00:00+00:00, 2020-11-11T00:00:00Z,
datetime -> ISO8601: 2020-11-11T09:36:27+00:00, 2020-11-11T09:36:27Z,
time     -> HH:mm:ssZ,
duration -> milliseconds
timezone -> time offset - +00:00

Usage

const timeInterpreter = require("@onereach/time-interpreter");
const converter = new timeInterpreter();

Parse date

// will be deprecated
converter.formatDatetime(
  "date string",
  false /*ignore time*/,
  "input timezone",
  "output timezone"
); // optional: set timezones by name or time offset, default `Z`
// Input timezone is a default (assumed) timezone and it will be applied if the input date/time doesn't include timezone data

Since v1.0.21:

Parse timezone

let timeOffset = converter.formatTimezone("+1"); // "+01:00"
converter.formatTimezone("America/Denver"); // "-07:00" (or "-06:00")
converter.formatTimezone("-0700"); // "-07:00"
converter.formatTimezone("-180"); // "-03:00"

// Specify 'true' as second param to output timezone object 1.0.8+
converter.formatTimezone("America/Denver", true);

		"offsetText": "-07:00"
    } */

// Invalid value 1.0.8+
converter.formatTimezone("30"); // null
converter.formatTimezone("Ukraine"); // null

Parse time

If the time zone name is used to indicate the input timezone, and this zone has winter and summer time, then the time offset for the input time value is determined to rely on the current date.

converter.formatTime("time string", "input timezone"); // optional: set timezones by name or time offset, default `Z`

let time = converter.formatTime("12:30:10 am", "Europe/Kiev");
/* {
        "time": "00:30:10+02:00",
        "timezoneOffset": "+02:00"

converter.formatTime("2020-11-06T06:30:00Z", "Europe/Kiev"); 
/* {
        "time": "06:30:00Z",
        "timezoneOffset": "+00:00"
    } */

converter.formatTime({ seconds: 2, minutes: 2, hours: 2 }, "Europe/Kiev");
/* {
        "time": "02:02:02+02:00",
        "timezoneOffset": "+02:00"
    } */

converter.formatTime("12-30-10").time; // "12:30:10"
converter.formatTime("183142").time; // "18:31:42Z"
converter.formatTime("283142").time; // as unix time in ms
// "00:04:43Z"

// Output additional timezone data 1.0.8+
converter.formatTime("12-30-10");
/* { 
        "time": '12:30:10Z', 
        "timezoneOffset": 'Z', 
        "zoneName": '', 
        "offsetNum": 0 
    } */

Parse duration

let duration = converter.formatDuration("10.2019"); // number of days in October
// 2678400000

converter.formatDuration("2w 1d5h"); // 1314000000

// ISO8601 duration
converter.formatDuration("P2Y2M16DT2H2M2S"); // 69732122000

// Invalid
converter.formatDuration("month"); // NaN

// v1.0.19
converter.formatDuration("2d"); // {asMilliseconds: 172800000, asObject: {days: 2}, humanized: "2 days"}

Define value type and parse

If you don't know what type of an input value: date, date/time or time, you can use converter.parse(value, input timezone, output timezone, input year, input date). Input year (YYYY) is a default year and it will be applied if the input date/time doesn't include year. Input date (in format YYYY-MM-DD) will be applied if the input value type of time. Default year - current year, default date - null, default input timezone - GMT+0.

if input date is not indicated and the defined type of value is time, then the output timezone is ignored. If the defined type of value is date, then the time is set to 00:00:00 in input timezone (default GMT+0).

If the time zone name is used to indicate the input timezone, and this zone has winter and summer time, and if value is time, then the time offset is determined to rely on the current date (unless otherwise specified).

Method tries to defind first if the value is a date. If input value is a sequence of numbers (for example, 234567 or "6453673") it will be parsed as unix time in seconds. If the value looks like these: "12-30-00", "20 45 50", "16.50.00", - the method will try to parse it as a date (MM-DD-YY, YY-MM-DD etc.) and if it's invalid date the value will be parsed as a time (hh mm ss). Values where separator is "/" are parsed only as a date. Values where separator is ":" are parsed only as a time.


// Sinse v1.0.21
converter.getParsed({
  value: "time/date/datetime",
  inputTimezone: "input timezone",
  outputTimezone: "output zone",
  assumedYear: "it is used if the original date does not include year (default year current)",
  assumedDate: "it is used if the input value is time (default undefined)"
});
