date-fns provides the most comprehensive, yet simple and consistent toolset
for manipulating JavaScript dates in a browser & Node.js.
[📖 Documentation](https://date-fns.org/docs/Getting-Started/) | [🧑💻 JavaScript Jobs](https://jobs.date-fns.org/)
It's like Lodash for dates
- It has 200+ functions for all occasions.
- Modular: Pick what you need. Works with webpack, Browserify, or Rollup and also supports tree-shaking.
- Native dates: Uses existing native type. It doesn't extend core objects for safety's sake.
- Immutable & Pure: Built using pure functions and always returns a new date instance.
- TypeScript & Flow: Supports both Flow and TypeScript
- I18n: Dozens of locales. Include only what you need.
- and many more benefits
import { compareAsc, format } from 'date-fns'
format(new Date(2014, 1, 11), 'yyyy-MM-dd')
//=> '2014-02-11'
const dates = [
new Date(1995, 6, 2),
new Date(1987, 1, 11),
new Date(1989, 6, 10),
]
dates.sort(compareAsc)
//=> [
// Wed Feb 11 1987 00:00:00,
// Mon Jul 10 1989 00:00:00,
// Sun Jul 02 1995 00:00:00
// ]
The library is available as an npm package. To install the package run:
