Examples

Example 1

To get the date in the format D, d M Y H:i:s You must specify the first parameter of the format Tue, 28 Au 2018 22:51:04

const workDate = require('./workDate');

console.log(

workDate.format('H:i:s d/m/Y'), '\n',

workDate.format('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A'), '\n',

workDate.format('l'), '\n',

workDate.format('l j'),

);

Example 2

console.log( workDate.format("F j, Y, g:i a") ); // March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm

console.log( workDate.format("m.d.y") ); // 03.10.01

console.log( workDate.format("j, n, Y") ); // 10, 3, 2001

console.log( workDate.format("Ymd") ); // 20010310

console.log( workDate.format('h-i-s, j-m-y, it is w Day') ); // 05-16-18, 10-03-01, 1631 1618 6 Satpm01

console.log( workDate.format("D M j G:i:s T Y") ); // Sat Mar 10 17:16:18 MST 2001

console.log( workDate.format("H:i:s") ); // 17:16:18

console.log( workDate.format("Y-m-d H:i:s") ); // 2001-03-10 17:16:18 (the MySQL DATETIME format)

Function strToTime

Description

string require('workDate').strToTime( string time [, int now ] );

The function expects to be given a string containing an English date format and will try to parse that format into a Unix timestamp (the number of seconds since January 1 1970 00:00:00 UTC), relative to the timestamp given in now, or the current time if now is not supplied.

Parameters

text

A date/time string. Valid formats are explained in Date and Time Formats.

now

The timestamp which is used as a base for the calculation of relative dates.

Returns

Returns a timestamp on success.

Examples

console.log( workDate.strToTime() );

console.log( workDate.strToTime('now') );

console.log( workDate.strToTime('10 September 2000') );

console.log( workDate.strToTime('+1 day') );

console.log( workDate.strToTime('+1 week') );

console.log( workDate.strToTime('+1 week 2 days 4 hours 2 seconds') );

console.log( workDate.strToTime('next Thursday') );

console.log( workDate.strToTime('last Monday') );
