Methods

parse

Takes an input string and a formatString to parse to a date.

import { parse } from "https://deno.land/std@0.137.0/datetime/mod.ts";

parse("20-01-2019", "dd-MM-yyyy"); // output : new Date(2019, 0, 20)
parse("2019-01-20", "yyyy-MM-dd"); // output : new Date(2019, 0, 20)
parse("20.01.2019", "dd.MM.yyyy"); // output : new Date(2019, 0, 20)
parse("01-20-2019 16:34", "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm"); // output : new Date(2019, 0, 20, 16, 34)
parse("01-20-2019 04:34 PM", "MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm a"); // output : new Date(2019, 0, 20, 16, 34)
parse("16:34 01-20-2019", "HH:mm MM-dd-yyyy"); // output : new Date(2019, 0, 20, 16, 34)
parse("01-20-2019 16:34:23.123", "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS"); // output : new Date(2019, 0, 20, 16, 34, 23, 123)

format

Takes an input date and a formatString to format to a string.

import { format } from "https://deno.land/std@0.137.0/datetime/mod.ts";

format(new Date(2019, 0, 20), "dd-MM-yyyy"); // output : "20-01-2019"
format(new Date(2019, 0, 20), "yyyy-MM-dd"); // output : "2019-01-20"
format(new Date(2019, 0, 20), "dd.MM.yyyy"); // output : "20.01.2019"
format(new Date(2019, 0, 20, 16, 34), "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm"); // output : "01-20-2019 16:34"
format(new Date(2019, 0, 20, 16, 34), "MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm a"); // output : "01-20-2019 04:34 PM"
format(new Date(2019, 0, 20, 16, 34), "HH:mm MM-dd-yyyy"); // output : "16:34 01-20-2019"
format(new Date(2019, 0, 20, 16, 34, 23, 123), "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS"); // output : "01-20-2019 16:34:23.123"
format(new Date(2019, 0, 20), "'today:' yyyy-MM-dd"); // output : "today: 2019-01-20"

dayOfYear

Returns the number of the day in the year.

import { dayOfYear } from "https://deno.land/std@0.137.0/datetime/mod.ts";

dayOfYear(new Date("2019-03-11T03:24:00")); // output: 70

weekOfYear

Returns the ISO week number of the provided date (1-53).

import { weekOfYear } from "https://deno.land/std@0.137.0/datetime/mod.ts";

weekOfYear(new Date("2020-12-28T03:24:00")); // Returns 53

toIMF

Formats the given date to IMF date time format. (Reference: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-7.1.1.1 )

import { toIMF } from "https://deno.land/std@0.137.0/datetime/mod.ts";

toIMF(new Date(0)); // => returns "Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT"

isLeap

import { isLeap } from "https://deno.land/std@0.137.0/datetime/mod.ts";

isLeap(new Date("1970-01-01")); // => returns false
isLeap(new Date("1972-01-01")); // => returns true
isLeap(new Date("2000-01-01")); // => returns true
isLeap(new Date("2100-01-01")); // => returns false
isLeap(1972); // => returns true

difference

Returns the difference of the 2 given dates in the given units. If the units are omitted, it returns the difference in the all available units.

Available units: “milliseconds”, “seconds”, “minutes”, “hours”, “days”, “weeks”, “months”, “quarters”, “years”

import { difference } from "https://deno.land/std@0.137.0/datetime/mod.ts";

const date0 = new Date("2018-05-14");
const date1 = new Date("2020-05-13");

difference(date0, date1, { units: ["days", "months", "years"] });
// => returns { days: 730, months: 23, years: 1 }

difference(date0, date1);
// => returns {
//   milliseconds: 63072000000,
//   seconds: 63072000,
//   minutes: 1051200,
//   hours: 17520,
