date-time-formatter-dtf

library1.0.6jsnpmunverified

A lightweight JavaScript library for formatting dates and times. Version 1.0.6 is the latest stable release. It offers simple APIs for date/time formatting without external dependencies. The library is minimal but lacks comprehensive documentation, making it less discoverable than alternatives like date-fns or dayjs.

import { formatDate, formatTime, formatDateTime } from 'date-time-formatter-dtf'; const date = new Date(); console.log(formatDate(date)); // eg '2025-01-27' console.log(formatTime(date)); // eg '14:30:00' console.log(formatDateTime(date)); // eg '2025-01-27 14:30:00'

Debug

Known issues

gotchaLibrary returns default formatted strings without locale support; may not match expected regional formats.

fix

Use a more feature-rich library like date-fns or dayjs if locale formatting is required.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaNo explicit error handling for invalid Date objects; calling functions with non-Date input may throw silently.

fix

Always pass valid Date instances or use try/catch to handle potential errors.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedThe package has no recent updates and minimal documentation; consider it in maintenance mode.

fix

Evaluate if this library still meets your needs; alternatives are more actively maintained.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: Cannot read property 'format' of undefined

Attempting to call formatDate on a non-Date value (e.g., a string).

fix

Ensure the argument is a Date object: new Date('2025-01-27')

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Using ES import syntax in a CommonJS context.

fix

Add "type": "module" to your package.json or use .mjs extension.

Warning: date-time-formatter-dtf is not a default export

Attempting to import default export instead of named exports.

fix

Use import { formatDate } from 'date-time-formatter-dtf' instead of import dtf from ...
