date-format

node.js formatting of Date objects as strings. Probably exactly the same as some other library out there.

usage Formatting dates as strings
var format = require('date-format');
format.asString(); // defaults to ISO8601 format and current date
format.asString(new Date()); // defaults to ISO8601 format
format.asString('hh:mm:ss.SSS', new Date()); // just the time
format.asString(format.ISO8601_WITH_TZ_OFFSET_FORMAT, new Date()); // in ISO8601 with timezone

or

var format = require('date-format');
format(); // defaults to ISO8601 format and current date
format(new Date()); // defaults to ISO8601 format
format('hh:mm:ss.SSS', new Date()); // just the time
format(format.ISO8601_WITH_TZ_OFFSET_FORMAT, new Date()); // in ISO8601 with timezone

output:

2017-03-14T14:10:20.391
2017-03-14T14:10:20.391
14:10:20.391

Parsing strings as dates

The date format library has limited ability to parse strings into dates. It can convert strings created using date format patterns (as above), but if you're looking for anything more sophisticated than that you should probably look for a better library (momentjs does pretty much everything).

var format = require('date-format');
// pass in the format of the string as first argument
format.parse(format.ISO8601_FORMAT, '2017-03-14T14:10:20.391');
format.parse(format.ISO8601_WITH_TZ_OFFSET_FORMAT, '2017-03-14T14:10:20.391+1100');
format.parse(format.ISO8601_WITH_TZ_OFFSET_FORMAT, '2017-03-14T14:10:20.391+11:00');
format.parse(format.ISO8601_WITH_TZ_OFFSET_FORMAT, '2017-03-14T03:10:20.391Z');
// returns Date
