$ npm install browser-date-formatterFormat dates real fancy-like in the browser. Good for search engines and humans.
This was originally implemented on the npmjs.com website, then proved useful enough to extract into a standalone module.
Weighs in at 4K, minified and gzipped.
npm install browser-date-formatter --save
Specify date and format data attributes on all HTML elements you want
formatted:
<span data-date="Thu Apr 07 2016 17:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)" data-format="%Y-%m-%d">
(any textContent you put here will be replaced with "2016-04-07")
</span>
The date data attribute should be a stringified representation of a JavaScript Date
object,
e.g. String(new Date())
The format data attribute is optional. If omitted, a human-friendly relative date
string like "5 minutes ago" is displayed. If specified, the format is expected
to be a strftime pattern, such as %Y-%m-%d.
Require and invoke the function in your javascript code:
require('browser-date-formatter')()
When the DOM is ready, this module finds all elements with a data-date
attribute and converts their text content to the given data-format. The
formatter function is executed every 5 seconds to keep relative dates fresh.
If you're not using browserify in your project, you can use the unpkg.com hosted version instead:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/browser-date-formatter/dist.js"></script>
<script>
browserDateFormatter()
</script>
npm install
npm test
