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 🙏

Readme

LocalDate Build Status

LocalDate is a JS library to provide an immutable date object that represents an ISO-8601 date (year-month-day). LocalDate does not store a time or time-zone.

Installation

Add LocalDate as a dependency to package.json:

$ npm install --save localdate

Or via bower

$ bower install localdate

Usage

Creating a LocalDate object

var today = new LocalDate();
var epoch = new LocalDate(1970, 1, 1);

A LocalDate can be instantiated with a String, Date or Julian day.

new LocalDate('1984-05-02');
new LocalDate(new Date(1984, 4, 2));
new LocalDate(2445823);

The basic value of LocalDate tracks the Julian Day. Think of it like the Unix epoch, number of (milli)seconds since 1.1.1970, except for days since 4714 BC.

The Julian Day is the integer assigned to a whole solar day in the Julian day count starting from noon Greenwich Mean Time, with Julian day number 0 assigned to the day starting at noon on January 1, 4713 BC, proleptic Julian calendar (November 24, 4714 BC, in the proleptic Gregorian calendar).

For whole (integer) Julian days the time is assumed to be 12:00 GMT. LocalDate doesn't keep time or timezones, so the Julian day value is not representative of the point in time (noon), rather the whole solar day.

Converters

today.toDate();
epoch.toString();
today.toJulianDay(); //same as today.valueOf()

Clone

var another = today.clone();

Getters & Setters

Setters return new LocalDate instances, they do not modify the existing instance;

today.getYear();
today.getMonth();
today.getDay();

var past = today.setYear(2000).setMonth(2).setDay(29);

Comparators

You can compare two LocalDate objects, or a LocalDate to a String.

birth.isBefore(today); // true
today.isAfter(past); // true
today.equals(new Date); // true

past.isBefore('1923-02-22'); // false

Utility

There are lots of utility methods.

today.getDayOfWeek();
today.getDayOfYear();

birth.isLeapYear();
birth.isValid();

today.lengthOfMonth();
today.lengthOfYear();

Add & Subtract

You can add or subtract years, months and days.

var again = another.addMonths(22).subtractDays(10);

When adding months, if the original day of the month is greater than the number of days in the final month, the day will become the last day in the calculated month.
