Utilities for dealing with Date objects.

Constants

Constants such as SECOND, MINUTE and HOUR can be found in the constants module.

Day of year

import { dayOfYear } from "https://deno.land/std@0.224.0/datetime/day_of_year.ts";

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

Difference between dates

difference calculates the difference of the 2 given dates in various units.

import { difference } from "https://deno.land/std@0.224.0/datetime/difference.ts";

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

difference(date0, date1);
// {
//   milliseconds: 63072000000,
//   seconds: 63072000,
//   minutes: 1051200,
//   hours: 17520,
//   days: 730,
//   weeks: 104,
//   months: 23,
//   quarters: 7,
//   years: 1
// }

Formatting date strings

format formats a date to a string with the specified format.

import { format } from "https://deno.land/std@0.224.0/datetime/format.ts";

const date = new Date(2019, 0, 20, 16, 34, 23, 123);

format(date, "dd-MM-yyyy"); // "20-01-2019"

format(date, "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS"); // "01-20-2019 16:34:23.123"

format(date, "'today:' yyyy-MM-dd"); // "today: 2019-01-20"

Detecting leap years

isLeap returns whether the given year is a leap year. isUtcLeap does the same but in UTC time.

import { isLeap } from "https://deno.land/std@0.224.0/datetime/is_leap.ts";

isLeap(new Date("1970-01-02")); // false

isLeap(1970); // false

isLeap(new Date("1972-01-02")); // true

isLeap(1972); // true

Parsing date strings

parse parses a date string using the specified format string.

import { parse } from "https://deno.land/std@0.224.0/datetime/parse.ts";

parse("20-01-2019", "dd-MM-yyyy"); // 2019-01-19T13:00:00.000Z

parse("01-20-2019 04:34 PM", "MM-dd-yyyy hh:mm a"); // 2019-01-20T05:34:00.000Z

parse("01-20-2019 16:34:23.123", "MM-dd-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS"); // 2019-01-20T05:34:23.123Z

Week of year

import { weekOfYear } from "https://deno.land/std@0.224.0/datetime/week_of_year.ts";

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

weekOfYear(new Date("2020-07-10T03:24:00")); // 28
