moment-parser

library0.3.0jsnpmunverified

Natural language time parser for moment.js strings. Latest version 0.3.0, last released in 2016. Parses durations, absolute moments (ISO dates), and relative moments (e.g., '3 days ago', 'next month'). Supports abbreviations like 2h, 3d, and time expressions such as '01:23:00'. Infrequently updated; consider modern alternatives like chrono-node or dayjs. Not TypeScript-friendly; uses CommonJS.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

parse

✓ const parser = require('moment-parser'); parser.parse('1 hour')

✗ import { parse } from 'moment-parser';

Package uses CommonJS; ESM import may not work.

parseDuration

✓ const parser = require('moment-parser'); parser.parseDuration('2 months')

✗ import parser from 'moment-parser'; parser.parseDuration('2 months')

Default import works but TypeScript types are missing.

parseMoment

✓ const parser = require('moment-parser'); parser.parseMoment('day 5 of next month')

Returns a moment object directly.

Parses a duration and relative moment using CJS require; warns that package uses CommonJS.

const parser = require('moment-parser'); // Duration example console.log(parser.parse('1 hour')); // { type: 'MomentDuration', value: 1, unit: 'hour' } // Relative moment example console.log(parser.parseMoment('3 days ago')); // moment object representing 3 days ago // Absolute date example console.log(parser.parse('2015-01-01')); // { type: 'ISODateLiteral', value: '2015-01-01T00:00:00' }

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage is abandoned; no updates since 2016. moment.js itself is now in maintenance mode.

fix

Use a maintained alternative like chrono-node, date-fns, or dayjs.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaCommonJS only; ESM import will fail in modern bundlers.

fix

Use require() or convert to ESM with dynamic import.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaDoes not ship TypeScript definitions.

fix

Create your own .d.ts file or use @ts-ignore.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaparseMoment returns a moment object with mutability; parsing may mutate global moment state.

fix

Clone moments if needed: const result = parser.parseMoment('now').clone();

affects: >=0.0.0
