Day.js Extended
Fast 2kB alternative to Moment.js with the same modern API
(This is an extended fork of the original project.)
Day.js is a minimalist JavaScript library that parses, validates, manipulates, and displays dates and times for modern browsers with a largely Moment.js-compatible API. If you use Moment.js, you already know how to use Day.js.
;
- 🕒 Familiar Moment.js API & patterns
- 💪 Immutable
- 🔥 Chainable
- 🌐 I18n support
- 📦 2kb mini library
- 👫 All browsers supported
Extensions to the original project
- New plugin "customParseFormat" to parse input strings using custom formats.
- New plugin "localizableFormat" to format dates according to the chosen locale.
- New plugin "timeZone" to parse from and format to a date string using a time zone specified by its canonical name.
- Corrected plugin "relativeTime" honouring grammar rules of the supported languages.
- "UTC mode" for working in UTC, or for working with date-only values without the time part.
- Additional locales (cs, ru, sk, uk).
- Check for

instance by theinstanceof

Synopsis
Day.js
is usually imported via a "proxy module", which loads required plugins and registers required language packs. For example, via the following dayjs-local.js
:
// Load dayjs, plugins and language packs.// import "timeZone-1900-2050", "timeZone-1970-2038"// or "timeZone-2012-2022" to save your package size // Register plugins and language packs; Czech will be the default language.dayjs
Typical usage scenarios:
// Load a date+time from a storage and show it to the user.const dateTime = console// Prints "28.10.2018 19:45".console// Prints "před 5 hodinami" (5 hours ago). // Read a date+time from the user and format it for the storage.const dateTime = console// Prints "2018-10-28T18:45:00.000Z". // Set only the date; zero the time and prevent local time zone conversion.const dateOnly = console// Prints "2018-10-28" anytime and anywhere.
If used in the browser, the following scripts would be needed:
Getting Started
Installation
npm install dayjs-ext --save
API
It's easy to use Day.js APIs to parse, validate, manipulate, and display dates and times.
// parse // display // get & set // manipulate // query
I18n
Day.js has great support for internationalization.
But none of them will be included in your build unless you use it.
dayjs // use Spanish locale globally // use Chinese Simplified locale in a specific instance
Plugin
A plugin is an independent module that can be added to Day.js to extend functionality or add new features.
dayjs // use plugin // convert to CET before formatting
