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 🙏

The latest version of this library requires:

Installation

  • npm install --save date-fns
  • npm install --save ngx-date-fns

Installation for date-fns v2

⚠️ There's a range of date-fns versions for which tree shaking is broken, so we recommend that you either install v2.16.1 or >= v2.21.1.

Installation for date-fns v1

Basic Usage

stackblitz example

import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import 'zone.js';
import { es } from 'date-fns/locale';
import { DateFnsModule } from 'ngx-date-fns';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule, DateFnsModule],
  template: `
    <p>{{ dateOne | dfnsFormat: 'MM/dd/yyyy' }}</p>
    <p>{{ [dateOne, dateTwo] | dfnsMin | dfnsFormat: 'EEE LLLL d yyyy' }}</p>
    <p>
      {{ [dateOne, dateTwo] | dfnsMax | dfnsFormat: 'EEE LLLL d yyyy' }}
    </p>
    <p>
      {{ dateThree | dfnsFormatDistanceToNow: options }} - (Explicit 'es'
      locale)
    </p>
    <p>{{ 0 | dfnsWeekdayName: 'full':options }} - (Explicit 'es' locale)</p>
    <p>
      {{
        '12 de Marzo'
          | dfnsParse: parseFormat:parseDate:parseLocale
          | dfnsFormat: 'MM/dd/yyyy'
      }}
    </p>
  `
})
export class App {
  dateOne = new Date(2016, 0, 1);
  dateTwo = new Date(2017, 0, 1);
  dateThree: Date;
  options = {
    locale: es,
    addSuffix: true
  };
  parseDate = new Date(2010, 0, 1);
  parseFormat = `do 'de' MMMM`;
  parseLocale = { locale: es };

  constructor() {
    this.dateThree = new Date();
    this.dateThree.setDate(this.dateThree.getDate() - 6);
  }
}

bootstrapApplication(App);

The output:

01/01/2016
Fri January 1 2016
Sun January 1 2017
hace 6 días - (Explicit 'es' locale)
lunes - (Explicit 'es' locale)
03/12/2010

Working with locales

All locale-aware pipes use English by default.

Changing locale globally

Instead of passing the locale to each pipe via options you can set it globally in one single step by overriding the default DateFnsConfiguration implementation:

stackblitz example

// app.config.ts
import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { DateFnsConfigurationService } from 'ngx-date-fns';
import { fr } from 'date-fns/locale';

const frenchConfig = new DateFnsConfigurationService();
frenchConfig.setLocale(fr);

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [{ provide: DateFnsConfigurationService, useValue: frenchConfig }]
};
// main.ts
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import 'zone.js';
import { es } from 'date-fns/locale';
import { DateFnsModule } from 'ngx-date-fns';
import { appConfig } from './app.config';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule, DateFnsModule],
  template: `
    (...)
  `
})
export class App {
  // (...)
}

bootstrapApplication(App, appConfig).catch(err => console.error(err));

Changing locale at runtime

It is also possible to change the default locale at runtime:

stackblitz example

import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import 'zone.js';
import { es, de } from 'date-fns/locale';
import { DateFnsConfigurationService, DateFnsModule } from 'ngx-date-fns';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule, DateFnsModule],
  template: `
    <p>{{ dateOne | dfnsFormat: 'EEE LLLL d yyyy' }}</p>
    <hr />
    Set default locale to: <a href="#" (click)="changeToGerman()">German</a>,
    <a href="#" (click)="changeToSpanish()">Spanish</a>.
  `
})
export class App {
  dateOne = new Date(2016, 0, 1);
  constructor(public config: DateFnsConfigurationService) {}
  changeToGerman() {
    this.config.setLocale(de);
  }
  changeToSpanish() {
    this.config.setLocale(es);
  }
}

bootstrapApplication(App);

Pure or impure?

Should I use the pure or impure version of the locale-aware pipes?

The answer is quite simple:

  • Do you set the locale only once when the application starts?
    • Use only pure pipes.
  • Do you need to change the locale at runtime?
    • Use impure pipes.

The main difference is that pure pipes do not get notified when the locale is changed via DateFnsConfiguration.setLocale(locale: Locale), because the instance is not kept in memory. Impure pipes, on the other hand, are kept in memory and listen for Locale change notifications, which adds some memory and performance overhead.

Available pipes

All pipes are pure unless stated otherwise.

Utils

A collection of utilities built around date-fns functions.

dfnsFormatRelativeToNow

This pipe is (impure), but there's the pure version dfnsFormatRelativeToNowPure too.

Same as dfnsFormatRelative but the date to comapre against is always Date.now().

dfnsWeekdayName

This pipe is (impure)

Given a weekday number, returns its name.

@param WeekdayNameFormat

Optional weekday format. Allowed values are:

  • x1: One char. 'M' for Monday.
  • x2: Two chars. 'Mo' for Monday.
  • x3: Three chars. 'Mon' for Monday.
  • full: Full weekday name. 'Monday' for Monday.

Defaults to full.

@param Locale

Optional date-fns Locale object.

Optional locale object.

Basic example

<div>
  <!-- Prints Monday -->
  {{ 0 | dfnsWeekdayName }}
</div>
<div>
  <!-- Prints Mon -->
  {{ 0 | dfnsWeekdayName : 'x3' }}
</div>
