Refer to its guide or use code completion to parse your date. Rather than Moment.js, Luxon will not provide you with a single “entry point” to do it. If you think we should wrap (or convert) the date to use it then you’re right:Ĭonst obj1 = omJSDate(test1) // DateTime Npm i or yarn add you may proceed to another usual step: Here’s the way to add TypeScript support: Remember we decided to go on with TypeScript? Well, Luxon in contrast to the other libraries doesn’t ship with its own type definitions, so your modern IDE should scream about when you try to import it. Take the usual step and add Luxon to your project:īack off a little bit. Our next contestant gives us a subtle hint that its core maintainers is nearly the same as Moment’s. But if you want to parse anything different from that, you must provide it with the desired format: Day.js as well as Moment.js will parse any string given its ISO 8601. We couldn’t say the same about Day.js, but on the other hand that's the price you pay for having a really lightweight library.Īnd again we need to convert it. The thing about using Moment.js is that you could count days or years as well as day or year - that doesn’t matter at all. Or simply count how many days have passed since then: And you’d be right to say that it looks exactly like Moment’s installation and import.ĭay.js might not be a drop-in replacement for Moment.js but it gives you pretty similar API and uses the same concept of turning everything into its own object.Īnd if we need to know what year is inside, then we just get it: Start using Day.js by adding it to your project:Įven to those of you who have never heard of Moment before the two previous lines should ring a bell as if you’ve seen this before. If you ever used Moment.js, it should be really easy to replace it with Day.js, it’s not exactly the same but still worth a try. Then we move on to the Moment’s nearest successor - Day.js. Though Moment doesn't restrict you with some special format, it may not recognize some real junk. Moment.js also takes a string “as is” so you should only care about its format. Or count how many days have passed since then: That's it - nice and simple! Moment.js takes a Date object “as is” and turns it into its own object, so we could operate on it.Īnd if we need to know what year is inside, then we could easily get it: Then import it in a component and you're good to go: Let’s take a look at Moment.js and see how simple it is to start using it (or should I now say “was”?).įirst thing we need before using Moment.js in any project is to install it: Yarn create react-app play-date -template typescript To begin with, let’s create a pretty basic React app, so we can jump start this journey and see the results immediately: We’ll stick to TypeScript as an increasingly popular language used by a lot of projects (I mean, there are really a lot). Here is an overview comparison of several date libraries which are recommended as a feasible replacement. Obviously, I must tell you that you don’t have to immediately scoop through all of your projects and replace Moment.js if there are not many places where you use it, go ahead and upgrade but since now anything you start working on should probably not use it anymore. ![]() There’s no need to whine about it but a good reason to take a look at its successors. ![]() ![]() Moment.js has been around since 2011, but its developers have their own reasons to shut down its active support, which also includes immutability and support for “tree shaking”. It doesn’t need any introduction: according to NPM, as of September 2020, it has over 14 million downloads weekly and more than 46000 dependent open source packages. On SeptemMoment.js maintainers’ team stated that one of the world’s most popular JavaScript date library has come to an end.
