current-time-format

A tiny javascript package that access current time componets in your javascript project easily.

Install

npm install current-time-format

If you are using yarn

yarn add current-time-format

Import

const { timeFormat } = require('current-time-format')
 
import { timeFormat } from 'current-time-format'

Usage

The package returns an object that contains year, monthNum, monthStrLong, monthStrShort, day, weekdayLong, weekdayShort, hours, and minutes。Thus, you could customize your time format with /, or : or other symbols easily without declare any Date object. Description and return values for each attributes list below.

Attributes	Description	Type
year	Current year as numeric values. eg. '2020'	string
monthNum	Current month as numeric values. eg. '03' for March	string
monthStrLong	Current month as string format. e.g. 'March' for March	string
monthStrShort	Current month abbv as string format. e.g. 'Mar' for March	string
day	Current date as two digit string. e.g. '03'	string
weekdayLong	Current weekday as string format. e.g. 'Monday'	string
weekdayShort	Current weekday abbv as string format. e.g. 'Mon' for 'Monday'	string
hours	Current hours in 24 hour format. e.g. '20' for 8pm	string
minutes	Current minutes from 0-60. e.g. '30'	string

We could access weekdayShort by typing timeFormat.weekdayShort, which will return Tue for Tuesday for example.

Or we could first deconstruct the object the attributes you need then access it like below.

import { timeFormat } from 'current-time-format'
 
const {
  year,
  monthNum,
  monthStrLong,
  monthStrShort,
  day,
  weekdayLong,
  weekdayShort,
  hours,
  minutes,
} = timeFormat
 
console.log(`${year}-${monthStrShort}, ${weekdayShort}`) //e.g. 2020-May, Wed (depends on your current local time)

React

import React from 'react'
import { timeFormat } from 'current-time-format'
 
export default const App = () => {
  const {
    year,
    monthNum,
    monthStrLong,
    monthStrShort,
    day,
    weekdayLong,
    weekdayShort,
    hours,
    minutes,
  } = timeFormat
 
  // MMM dd hh:mm e.g. Jun 14 15:45
  return <p>{`${monthStrShort} ${day} ${hours}:${minutes}`}</p>
}
