js-Joda VS date-fns

So first, a simple example of how this works. Using our "What is your birthday" example, we can mock up this code. Note: I'm using TypeScript because it enforces the concepts at compile time, but the JsJoda library itself enforces the concepts at runtime so that we get the best of both. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

Temporal is great, and the sooner it lands and is usable the better (AFAIK, there isn't a production-grade polyfill yet.) In the interim, JS-Joda [0] seems pretty decent, and doesn't use the wrapper approach. [0] https://js-joda.github.io/js-joda/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

Dealing with human dates is non-trivial thanks to localization. The easiest thing to do is to start with something zone agnostic (like UTC or epoch) do your date calculation, and then shift that into the locale you want. date-fns is fine for basic date math, but if you want something more robust, with a more cohesive API, I'd recommend js-joda.

How come the js-joda library is never mentioned in discussions about javascript date/time libraries? Its API is perfect and it has been around forever. But instead the community seems to keep inventing more and more new datetime libraries. I don't understand why js-joda seems to be ignored https://js-joda.github.io/js-joda/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

They already have that for JS! https://js-joda.github.io/js-joda/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

For the longest time working with dates in JavaScript was a huge pain. That’s why libraries such as moment.js or date-fns are so popular. A lot of times I’d reach for these libraries when working with relative time formatting, but since late last year we’ve had pretty great browser support for the RelativeTimeFormat() method. In my mind, relative dates are just more visually appealing, especially for working with... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

I've used this before and I like it more. Source: 12 months ago

Date-fns and mitt (event emitter) are also frequent helpers, but I'm considering dayjs and nanoevents for these cases. Source: about 1 year ago

We all know the pain of working with dates in Javascript. It needs to be more explicit, has almost no method, and could not be more clunky. For example, to create the Date January 1, 2023, you have to write a new Date (2023, 0, 1), which can be confusing for beginners, and overall just not that clear. And because of these reasons, the community has made many libraries that attempt to make Date easier to work with... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

Next we're going to install any additional dependencies we need. In our case, we're just going to need date-fns which is a library that makes it trivial to work with datetimes in JavaScript. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
