A lightweight date formatter.

formatDate is a lightweight and flexible date formatting library for JavaScript. It allows you to easily format dates into various patterns with support for both 24-hour and 12-hour time formats, including AM/PM indicators.

You can install the package via npm:

npm install @vtjhyn/formatdate

Import the formatDate function and use it to format dates according to your specified pattern.

import { formatDate } from "@vtjhyn/formatdate";
const date = new Date();
const formattedDate = formatDate(date, "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss A");
console.log(formattedDate); // Output: e.g., "2024-06-19 02:15:30 PM"

The formatDate function supports the following patterns:

• YYYY: Full year (e.g., 2024)
• YY: Two-digit year (e.g., 24)

• HH: Hour in 24-hour format (00-23)
• mm: Minutes (00-59)
• ss: Seconds (00-59)
• A: AM/PM indicator

console.log(formatDate(date, "YYYY-MM-DD")); // Output: e.g., "2024-06-19"
console.log(formatDate(date, "YY-MM-DD")); // Output: e.g., "24-06-19"
console.log(formatDate(date, "hh:mm A")); // Output: e.g., "02:15 PM"
