## Use it #### Formatting `fecha.format` accepts a Date object (or timestamp) and a string format and returns a formatted string. See below for available format tokens. Note: `fecha.format` will throw an error when passed invalid parameters ```js fecha.format(, ); // Custom formats fecha.format(new Date(2015, 10, 20), 'dddd MMMM Do, YYYY'); // 'Friday November 20th, 2015' fecha.format(new Date(1998, 5, 3, 15, 23, 10, 350), 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.SSS A'); // '1998-06-03 03:23:10.350 PM' // Named masks fecha.format(new Date(2015, 10, 20), 'mediumDate'); // 'Nov 20, 2015' fecha.format(new Date(2015, 2, 10, 5, 30, 20), 'shortTime'); // '05:30' // Literals fecha.format(new Date(2001, 2, 5, 6, 7, 2, 5), '[on] MM-DD-YYYY [at] HH:mm'); // 'on 03-05-2001 at 06:07' ``` #### Parsing `fecha.parse` accepts a Date string and a string format and returns a Date object. See below for available format tokens. Note: `fecha.parse` will throw an error when passed invalid parameters ```js // Custom formats fecha.parse('February 3rd, 2014', 'MMMM Do, YYYY'); // new Date(2014, 1, 3) fecha.parse('10-12-10 14:11:12', 'YY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'); // new Date(2010, 11, 10, 14, 11, 12) // Named masks fecha.parse('5/3/98', 'shortDate'); // new Date(1998, 4, 3) fecha.parse('November 4, 2005', 'longDate'); // new Date(2005, 10, 4) ``` #### i18n Support ```js // Override fecha.i18n to support any language fecha.i18n = { dayNamesShort: ['Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thur', 'Fri', 'Sat'], dayNames: ['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'], monthNamesShort: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'], monthNames: ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'], amPm: ['am', 'pm'], // D is the day of the month, function returns something like... 3rd or 11th DoFn: function (D) { return D + [ 'th', 'st', 'nd', 'rd' ][ D % 10 > 3 ? 0 : (D - D % 10 !== 10) * D % 10 ]; } } ``` #### Custom Named Masks ```js fecha.masks = { default: 'ddd MMM DD YYYY HH:mm:ss', shortDate: 'M/D/YY', mediumDate: 'MMM D, YYYY', longDate: 'MMMM D, YYYY', fullDate: 'dddd, MMMM D, YYYY', shortTime: 'HH:mm', mediumTime: 'HH:mm:ss', longTime: 'HH:mm:ss.SSS' }; // Create a new mask fecha.masks.myMask = 'HH:mm:ss YY/MM/DD'; // Use it fecha.format(new Date(2014, 5, 6, 14, 10, 45), 'myMask'); // '14:10:45 14/06/06' ``` ### Formatting Tokens
