Installation

npm i @voidsolutions/vue-dateformat

Nuxt 3 Compatiblity

We need to create a plugin to use this component globally in Nuxt 3. Create dateformat.client.js to your /plugins directory. The contents of the file should be as follows:

import dateformat from "@voidsolutions/vue-dateformat";

export default defineNuxtPlugin(nuxtApp => {
    nuxtApp.vueApp.use(dateformat);
})

You can now use the component in your templates as follows:

<date-format :date="new Date()" />

Usage as a global component in Vue 3

In your main.js file, import the component and register it as a global component.

import { createApp } from 'vue'
const app = createApp(App)
...

import DateFormat from '@voidsolutions/vue-dateformat'
app.use(DateFormat);

...

app.mount('#app')

In your template, use the component as follows:

<date-format :date="new Date()" />
