strftime support for date-fns

Introduction

date-fns provides the most comprehensive, yet simple and consistent toolset for manipulating JavaScript dates in a browser & Node.js.

Unfortunately, the library doesn't support one of the most common approaches to format strings: the Unix-Style strftime syntax.

This plugin aims to fill the gap by reusing internally the format function of date-fns.

Installation (NPM)

Simply do:

npm install date-fns-strftime

Installation (Bower)

Simply do:

bower install date-fns-strftime

Usage

const strftime = require('date-fns-strftime')

strftime(new Date(), '%m/%d/%y %I:%M %p %Z') // => "17/01/21 09:17 AM CET"

Supported modifiers

This plugin supports all modifiers listed here with the exception of the following:

• %c
• %C
• %E
• %G
• %n
• %O
• %t
• %U
• %x
• %X
• %+

And with the addition of the following modifiers:

• %L: The milliseconds as decimal-number (range 000 to 999).

Supported implementations.

date-fns-strftime supports and has been tested on NodeJS 6.0+.
