Featherlight (< 2kB) helper for Javascript date formatting

Sometimes all you need is just a simple date formatting without all of those super powers.

Name is taken from tempo and tempe

📦 Install

$ yarn add tempe

 or

$ npm install tempe --save

💻 Usage

Use the default export, pass existing date object or you can initialize it like normal Javascript Date object.

import tempe from 'tempe';

// use tempe as Date initializer
tempe(2020, 0, 13).format('dd, DD MMM YYYY'); // "Monday, 13 Jan 2020"

// pass existing Date object to tempe
tempe(new Date(2020, 0, 13)).format('dd, DD MMM YYYY'); // "Monday, 13 Jan 2020"

// time formatting
tempe(2020, 2, 25, 23, 59).format('DD MMMM YYYY hh:mm:ss'); // "25 March 2020 23:59:00"
tempe(2020, 2, 25, 23, 59).format('H at DD/MM/YYYY'); // "11 PM at 25/03/2020"

🌐 i18n

Tempe supports internationalization by specifying the locale while formatting

import tempe from 'tempe';

tempe(2020, 5, 13).format('DD MMM YYYY', 'ja'); // "13日 6月 2020年"
tempe(2020, 5, 13).format('DD MMM YYYY', 'vi'); // "13 Tháng 6 2020"
tempe(2020, 5, 13).format('DD MMM YYYY', 'id'); // "13 Juni 2020"
