👉 Blog
It’s like Lodash for dates
- It has 200+ functions for all occasions.
- Modular: Pick what you need. Works with webpack, Browserify, or Rollup and also supports tree-shaking.
- Native dates: Uses existing native type. It doesn’t extend core objects for safety’s sake.
- Immutable & Pure: Built using pure functions and always returns a new date instance.
- TypeScript: The library is 100% TypeScript with brand-new handcrafted types.
- I18n: Dozens of locales. Include only what you need.
- and many more benefits
import { compareAsc, format } from "date-fns";
format(new Date(2014, 1, 11), "yyyy-MM-dd");
//=> '2014-02-11'
const dates = [
new Date(1995, 6, 2),
new Date(1987, 1, 11),
new Date(1989, 6, 10),
];
dates.sort(compareAsc);
//=> [
// Wed Feb 11 1987 00:00:00,
