Installation

npm i fb-date-parser

Usage

Import parser:

import {parser} from 'fb-date-parser';

You can convert human version of date to JSON:

parser.toJson('Wczoraj o 06:04');

you will see

{year: 2021, month: 4, day: 7, hour: 6, minute: 4}

You can also get Date object:

parser.fromString('Wczoraj o 06:04');

you should get:

Wed Apr 07 2021 06:04:00 GMT+0200 (Central European Summer Time)

Relative Dates

If you have date described as Wczoraj o 06:04 but scrapped at 2021-06-08T20:17:11.421Z, you can set relative date by the following code:

parser.setDate(new Date('2021-06-08T20:17:11.421Z'))
  .fromString('Wczoraj o 06:04')

You will see new Date('2021-06-07T06:04')

This relative data will be saved until fromString or toJson will be used. Then it is cleared. You can clear date by yourself using unsetDate().
