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 🙏

npm: dotnet-format License

It's 2020, and we still have no built-in tools to convert a date, number, or any other entity into a string using a custom format. Since I often write .NET programs, it looks like wildness to me, so I decided to port awesome .NET formatting operations for JS environment.

Date formatting operations

There're 3 ways to format date with this package.

  1. Import formatDate(date: Date, format: string, culture?: string) function from the main module:
import { formatDate } from "dotnet-format";

let date = new Date(0);

console.log(formatDate(date, "dd MM yyyy")); // 01 01 1970
console.log(formatDate(date, "d MMM yyyy")); // 1 Jan 1970
console.log(formatDate(date, "d MMM yyyy", "fr")); // 1 janv. 1970
console.log(formatDate(date, "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm")); // 01/01/1970 00:00
console.log(formatDate(date, "U")); // Thursday, January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM
  1. Extend date protototype with format(format: string, culture?: string) function:
import * from "dotnet-format/extensions/date/format";

let date = new Date(0);

console.log(date.format("dd MM yyyy")); // 01 01 1970
console.log(date.format("d MMM yyyy")); // 1 Jan 1970
console.log(date.format("d MMM yyyy", "fr")); // 1 janv. 1970
console.log(date.format("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm")); // 01/01/1970 00:00
console.log(date.format("U")); // Thursday, January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM
  1. Extend date protototype with toString(format?: string, culture?: string) function:
import * from "dotnet-format/extensions/date/toString";

let date = new Date(0);

console.log(date.toString("dd MM yyyy")); // 01 01 1970
console.log(date.toString("d MMM yyyy")); // 1 Jan 1970
console.log(date.toString("d MMM yyyy", "fr")); // 1 janv. 1970
console.log(date.toString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm")); // 01/01/1970 00:00
console.log(date.toString("U")); // Thursday, January 01, 1970, 12:00:00 AM

A standard date and time format string uses a single character as the format specifier to define the text representation of a Date value. Any date and time format string that contains more than one character, including white space, is interpreted as a custom date and time format string.

The following table describes the standard date and time format specifiers:

| Format specifier | Description | Examples | | ---------------- | ----------- | -------- | | "d" | Short date pattern. | 2009-06-15T13:45:30 -> 6/15/2009 (en-US)2009-06-15T13:45:30 -> 15/06/2009 (fr-FR)2009-06-15T13:45:30 -> 2009/06/15 (ja-JP) | | "D" | Long date pattern. | 2009-06-15T13:45:30 -> Monday, June 15, 2009 (en-US)2009-06-15T13:45:30 -> 15 июня 2009 г.

More info

A date and time format string defines the text representation of a Date value that results from a formatting operation. A custom format string consists of one or more custom date and time format specifiers. Any string that is not a standard date and time format string is interpreted as a custom date and time format string.

The following table describes the custom date and time format specifiers and displays a result string produced by each format specifier:

| Format specifier | Description | Examples | | ---------------- | ----------- | -------- | | "d" | The day of the month, from 1 through 31. | 2009-06-01T13:45:30 -> 12009-06-15T13:45:30 -> 15 | | "dd" | The day of the month, from 01 through 31. | 2009-06-01T13:45:30 -> 012009-06-15T13:45:30 -> 15 | | "ddd" | The abbreviated name of the day of the week. | 2009-06-15T13:45:30 -> Mon (en-US)2009-06-15T13:45:30 -> Пн (ru-RU)2009-06-15T13:45:30 -> lun.
