Timeify
ISO 8601 based time and date module. Parses an ISO string and returns an instance of the corresponding class.
Check out the respective packages for details:
Installation
npm install --save timeify
Usage
const timeify = require('timeify')
const moment = timeify('2015-11-24T21:32:43')
const duration = timeify('P2DT10H37M24.345S')
const interval = timeify('2015-11-24--2015-11-26')
const recurringInterval = timeify('R3/2015-11-24/P1D')

Conventions
In contrast to the ISO 8601 standard
this module assumes that times points are specified in UTC per default.
This means in order to work with local times
they must be explicitly entered with their offset (e.g. 17:45:34+0300
)
or the relevant flags must be set.
This also means that the Z
to denote UTC times is optional.
In order to fix the naming schema of native classes and unify it
with the usage in the ISO 8601 specification
the internal Instant
class encapsulates the Javascript Date
class.
It defines an infinitely accurate moment in time.
