		Eg. 9: YY,arg4: '1'	21	You can also specify start month as common by passing month as 4th argument as string with interger value
Calendar	Month	Eg. 1: M	2	It will returns current month as one digit numerical format
		Eg. 2: MM	02	It will returns current month as 2 digit numerical format
		Eg. 3: MMM	FEB	It will returns month as 3 character alphabetic format
		Eg. 4: MMMM	FEBRUARY	It will returns month as full name
Calendar	Week	Eg. 1: W	5	It will returns current week number as one digit numerical format
		Eg. 2: WW	05	It will returns current week number as two digit numerical format
Calendar	Date	Eg. 1: D	1	It will returns current date in one character
		Eg. 2: DD	01	It will returns current date in two characters
Calendar	Day	Eg. 1: dd	SA	It will returns current week day in 2 character format
		Eg. 2: ddd or DDD	SAT	It will returns current week day in 3 character format
		Eg. 3: dddd or DDDD	SATURDAY	It will returns current week day in full name
Value	Value	Eg. 1: val:size:5,arg2: 123	00123	It will leftpad two '0's to the value passed as second argument to maintain value size.
		Eg. 2: val:size:8,arg2: 789	00000789	It will leftpad five '0's if value's size is 3.
		Eg. 3: val or v,arg2: 789,arg3: 8	00000789	It will leftpad '0's to the value by the size passed as third argument

Code	Explanation
DNF/	this is not in between square brackets so it printed as like given.
YY=apr	this is converted into '19'
-	this character printed as same
YY+1=apr	this is converted into '20'
/	this character printed as same
val:size:6	this is converted into '000123' with the value of argument

var { formatDocumentNumber } = require('document-number-formatter')
console.log(formatDocumentNumber('DNF/[YY]-[YY+1]/[val]', 123, 6, 'apr'))

If todays date is '28 Feb 2020'
Output :
DNF/19-20/000123
Above format 'DNF/19-20/' will continue from '01 Apr 2019' to '31 Mar 2020' and then it will turn into 'DNF/20-21/' from '01 Apr 2020'.
