fecha 4.2.3

Fecha is a lightweight JavaScript package, offering robust date formatting and parsing functionalities. With a small size of only 2.1KBs, it is specifically designed to provide an efficient alternative to the parsing and formatting features found in moment.js. This versatile utility improves code efficiency without sacrificing the precision of date formatting and parsing processes.

Using fecha in your code is a straightforward process. First, ensure it's correctly installed into your project using either npm or Yarn:

For npm, use:

npm install fecha --save

For Yarn, use:

yarn add fecha

After successful installation, you can import the format and parse methods from the 'fecha' package as follows:

import { format, parse } from 'fecha';

To format dates, use the format method, which accepts a Date object, string format, and optionally i18n settings, and returns a formatted string:

format(new Date(2015, 10, 20), 'dddd MMMM Do, YYYY'); // Outputs 'Friday November 20th, 2015'

To parse dates, use the parse method, which accepts a date string and format, and optionally i18n settings, and returns a Date object:

parse('February 3rd, 2014', 'MMMM Do, YYYY'); // Returns new Date(2014, 1, 3)

For information about the available formatting tokens you can use, refer to the package's documentation.

Remember, for custom date formatting and parsing, always use the appropriate date format string that corresponds with your desired date output or the format of the input string you are parsing.
