Installation
npm install -g cli-timeUsage
cli-time is based on Felix Geisendörfer's node-dateformat, which is based on Steven Levithan's excellent dateFormat() function.
Options
--help Show this help
--version Current version of package
-m | --mask Mask that will use to format the date
-i | --interval Interval to tick, defaults to 1s, should be of the format [<value>](s[ec[ond[s]]]|m[in[ute[s]]]|h[r[s]]|hour[s])
-u | --utc Convert local time to UTC time or use `UTC:` prefix in mask
-g | --gmt You can use `GMT:` prefix in mask
Usage
time -m "HH:MM:ss" -i 1s
time -m "json" -i
time -m "longTime" -i 1mFor available mask options, see Steven Levithan's article. We also added the "json" named mask for easy json output:

| d | Day of the month as digits; no leading zero for single-digit days. |
| dd | Day of the month as digits; leading zero for single-digit days. |
| ddd | Day of the week as a three-letter abbreviation. |
| dddd | Day of the week as its full name. |

| hh | Hours; leading zero for single-digit hours (12-hour clock). |
| H | Hours; no leading zero for single-digit hours (24-hour clock). |
| HH | Hours; leading zero for single-digit hours (24-hour clock). |
| M | Minutes; no leading zero for single-digit minutes. Uppercase M unlike CF timeFormat's m to avoid conflict with months. |
| MM | Minutes; leading zero for single-digit minutes. Uppercase MM unlike CF timeFormat's mm to avoid conflict with months. |
| s | Seconds; no leading zero for single-digit seconds. |
| ss | Seconds; leading zero for single-digit seconds. |
| l or L | Milliseconds. l gives 3 digits. L gives 2 digits. |
| t | Lowercase, single-character time marker string: a or p. No equivalent in CF. |
| tt | Lowercase, two-character time marker string: am or pm. No equivalent in CF. |
| T | Uppercase, single-character time marker string: A or P. Uppercase T unlike CF's t to allow for user-specified casing. |
| TT | Uppercase, two-character time marker string: AM or PM. Uppercase TT unlike CF's tt to allow for user-specified casing. |
| Z | US timezone abbreviation, e.g. EST or MDT. With non-US timezones or in the Opera browser, the GMT/UTC offset is returned, e.g. GMT-0500 No equivalent in CF. |
| o | GMT/UTC timezone offset, e.g. -0500 or +0230. No equivalent in CF. |
| S | The date's ordinal suffix (st, nd, rd, or th). Works well with d. No equivalent in CF. |
| '…' or "…" | Literal character sequence. Surrounding quotes are removed. No equivalent in CF. |
| UTC: | Must be the first four characters of the mask. Converts the date from local time to UTC/GMT/Zulu time before applying the mask. The "UTC:" prefix is removed. No equivalent in CF. |
