multi-date

library1.0.1jsnpmunverified

A lightweight JavaScript date formatting and manipulation library providing functions for formatting, date arithmetic (add/subtract days, months, years), calculating differences between dates (days, hours, minutes), and comparing dates. Version 1.0.1 focuses on simplicity with a small API surface (format, customDates, inBetweenDates, compareDates). No external dependencies. Released occasionally; suitable for basic date operations without the overhead of Moment.js or date-fns.

Code

Verified usage

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

format

✓ import { format } from 'multi-date'

✗ const format = require('multi-date').formate

Note the typo: README shows 'formate' in some places. Correct named export is 'format'.

customDates

✓ import { customDates } from 'multi-date'

✗ const customDates = require('multi-date').customDates

CommonJS require works, but ensure you destructure the correct export name.

inBetweenDates

✓ import { inBetweenDates } from 'multi-date'

✗ const inBetweenDates = require('multi-date').inBetweenDates

ESM and CJS both supported.

compareDates

✓ import { compareDates } from 'multi-date'

Named export; no default export.

Shows basic usage of format, customDates, inBetweenDates, and compareDates functions with ESM imports.

import { format, customDates, inBetweenDates } from 'multi-date'; const now = new Date(); const formatted = format(now, 'DD-MM-YYYY'); console.log(formatted); // e.g., 19-03-2022 const nextMonth = customDates(now, 1, 'month'); console.log(format(nextMonth, 'DD-MM-YYYY')); const diff = inBetweenDates('2022-10-10', '2022-10-15', 'days'); console.log(diff); // 5 Days const c = compareDates('2022-10-10', '2022-10-15'); console.log(c); // -1 (date1 less than date2)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaExport typo: README mentions 'formate' instead of 'format' in some places.

fix

Always import 'format' (not 'formate') from 'multi-date'.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchacustomDates accepts string dates but does not validate ISO format; ambiguous dates may fail.

fix

Pass Date objects or ISO strings (YYYY-MM-DD) to avoid parsing issues.

affects: >=1.0.0

breakinginBetweenDates returns strings with unit suffix (e.g., '5 Days' ). May break code expecting numbers.

fix

Parse the result with parseInt() if you need a numeric value.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedPackage is low maintenance; no updates since initial release.

fix

Consider using date-fns or dayjs for more active support.

affects: >=1.0.0
