Qdate NPM | npm.io

qdate

Small, light and quick handy date conversion functions.

Unlike timezone packages that drag along their own timezone database, qdate leverages the host system's native timezone support, making it much smaller.

This is a work in progress.

Summary

var qdate = require('qdate')
qdate.adjust(new Date(), -30, 'minute');
