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

luxon-parser

NPM Link Build Status Code Coverage Language: TypeScript ISC License

The most comprehensive and accurate date parser for Node and browsers. It uses Intl to provide parsing support for all installed locales. This plugin connects the capabilities of any-date-parser to luxon.

It allows parsing every imaginable date format to a Luxon DateTime object. Most locales are supported automatically.

Table of Contents

Motivation

  1. The APIs I consume have a lot of different date formats
  2. I want to create REST APIs that accept all major formats
  3. I want to handle user-input dates
  4. I want to support dates in other languages according to JavaScript's new Intl global object

Installation

npm install luxon luxon-parser

Usage

Option 1: import functions (recommended)

import { dateTimeFromHuman, dateTimeFromAny } from 'luxon-parser';

const date1 = dateTimeFromHuman('March 5th, 2016 at 7:05pm');
const date2 = dateTimeFromHuman('9 days ago');
const date3 = dateTimeFromHuman('2016-03-05 23:59:59 CST');
const date4 = dateTimeFromAny(new Date());

Option 2: use new functions on DateTime object

import { DateTime } from 'luxon';
import 'luxon-parser';

const date1 = DateTime.fromHuman('March 5th, 2016 at 7:05pm');
const date2 = DateTime.fromHuman('9 days ago');
const date3 = DateTime.fromHuman('2016-03-05 23:59:59 CST');
const date4 = DateTime.fromAny(new Date());

dateTimeFromHuman(string, options) : DateTime

Create a DateTime from any given string.

dateTimeFromAny(any, options) : DateTime

Create a DateTime from string, milliseconds, object, DateTime, or Date.

Locale Support

Locales are supported through a second argument:

import { dateTimeFromHuman, dateTimeFromAny } from 'luxon-parser';

const date1 = dateTimeFromHuman('15 septembre 2015', { locale: 'fr' });
const date2 = dateTimeFromAny('15 septembre 2015', { locale: 'fr' });

See the Luxon docs on locales and the example non-English dates that any-date-parser can parse.

Unit Testing

luxon-parser has 100% code coverage.

  • To run tests, run npm test
  • To check coverage, run npm run coverage

Unit tests require a global install of full-icu and luxon. The test runner will attempt to install these if absent. It tests compatibility with Luxon version 1.x, 2.x and 3.x
