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 🙏

Dateline

Associated Press style date & times

Latest Version Build status

Installation

$ npm install dateline

In the browser

Include dateline.js to expose Dateline on the global window object. Also plays nicely with Browserify + require, et al.

On the server

var Dateline = require('dateline');

Usage

Pass in a JavaScript Date, get a wrapped Dateline object back:

var newYears = Dateline(new Date(2014, 0, 1, 0, 0));

// Any valid date will do
var moonWalk = Dateline(new Date(-14159040000));

// Defaults to the current date/time
var now = Dateline();

Call through to native date methods to your heart's content:

moonWalk.getFullYear();
// -> 1969

Dateline adds two methods to the mix:

#getAPTime() returns an AP-style time string:

newYears.getAPTime();
// -> 'midnight'

moonWalk.getAPTime();
// -> '9:56 p.m.'

Available options:

  • includeMinutes: Always include minutes, even at the top of the hour:
// The current time is 11:00 a.m....

Dateline().getAPTime();
// -> '11 a.m.'

Dateline().getAPTime({includeMinutes: true});
// -> '11:00 a.m.'

#getAPDate(options) returns an AP-style date string:

newYears.getAPDate();
// -> 'Jan. 1'

moonWalk.getAPDate();
// -> 'July 20, 1969'

Available options:

  • includeYear: Always include the year, even if it matches the current one:
// Today is August 28, 2014...

Dateline().getAPDate();
// -> 'Aug. 28'

Dateline().getAPDate({includeYear: true});
// -> 'Aug. 28, 2014'
  • useDayNameForLastWeek: Use the day of the week for dates in the last seven days:
// Today is June 22, 2009

var myDate = new Date(2009, 5, 20);

Dateline(myDate).getAPDate();
// -> 'June 20'

Dateline(myDate).getAPDate({useDayNameForLastWeek: true});
// -> 'Saturday'
