Import

import  { 
    getCurrentDate,

    dateTimeFormat,
    dateDiff,
    isLeapYear,
    currentWeekNumber,
    formatMilliseconds

Available Functions

• dateDiff = (dates: DateInterface, timePeriod: TimePeriod): is a function that calculates the time difference between two dates in milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years, depending on the specified time period.

interface DateInterface {
    start: Date | string
    end: Date | string
}

type TimePeriod = 'milliseconds' | 'seconds' | 'minutes' | 'hours' | 'days' | 'weeks' | 'months' | 'years'

const dates = {
    start: new Date('2022-01-01'),
    end: new Date('2023-01-01')
}

const result = dateDiff(dates, 'days')
console.log(result)
// 365

• getCurrentDate = (timezone: string = 'UTC'): Gets the current date in the specified time zone.

const now = getCurrentDate('America/Asuncion')
console.log(now)
// 2023-10-23T22:14:49.876Z

• timeTransform = (date: Date, timeDelta: ITimeDelta): Performs addition or subtraction operations on a date according to the provided options.

interface ITimeDelta {
    year?: number, 
    month?: number, 
    day?: number, 
    hour?: number, 
    minute?: number, 
    second?: number 
}

const options = {
  year: -1,
  day: 1,
  hour: 1,
  minute: -3,
  second: 120,
  month: -1
}
const now = getCurrentDate('America/Asuncion')
const transform = timeTransform(now, options)
console.log(transform)
// 2022-09-25T00:26:06.078Z

• dateTimeFormat = (date: Date, template: string, language: string = 'en-EN'): Formats the date according to the specified template and language.

const now = getCurrentDate('America/Asuncion')
const template = "Today is %DAY%, %MONTH% %DD%rd of the year %YYYY%, the time is %H%:%MI% %A%"
const format = dateTimeFormat(now, template, 'es-EN')
console.log(format)
// Today is Monday, October 23rd of the year 2023, the time is 10:20 PM.

const now = getCurrentDate('America/Asuncion')
const template = "Today is %DAY%, %MONTH% %DD%rd of the year %YYYY%, the time is %HH%:%MI%:%SS% with %MS% milliseconds"
const format = dateTimeFormat(now, template, 'es-EN')
console.log(format)
// Today is Monday, October 23rd of the year 2023, the time is 22:20:20 with 345 milliseconds.

const now = getCurrentDate('America/Asuncion')
const template = "%DD%/%MM%/%YYYY% %HH%:%MI%"
const format = dateTimeFormat(now, template)
console.log(format)
// 23/10/2023 22:20
// %HH% 23h format

const now = getCurrentDate('America/Asuncion')
const template = "%DD%/%MM%/%YYYY% %H%:%MI% %A%"
const format = dateTimeFormat(now, template)
console.log(format)
// 23/10/2023 10:20 PM
// %H% 12h format

• const isLeapYear = (yearInterface: YearInterface): checks if a given year (after 1582) is a leap year according to the Gregorian calendar.

type YearInterface = number | string

const leapYear = isLeapYear(2024)
console.log(leapYear)
// true

• const currentWeekNumber = (date: Date | string): takes a Date or date string, calculates and returns the ISO week number, assuming a Monday start.

const result = currentWeekNumber('2023-02-27')
console.log(result)
// 9

• const formatMilliseconds = (milliseconds: number | string, includeMS: boolean = false): takes a time value in milliseconds (as a string or number) and returns it as HH:MM:SS. If includeMS is true, it adds milliseconds as HH:MM:SS.MS

const result = formatMilliseconds(3661000)
console.log(result)
// 01:01:01
