human-readable-time

Convert Date to format given by pattern

Examples

var hrt = require('human-readable-time');
 
console.log(hrt(new Date(0), '%hh%:%mm%'));
// -> 00:00
 
console.log(hrt(new Date(0), 'Now is %YYYY% year'));
// -> Now is 1970 year
 
// Default pattern
console.log(hrt(new Date(0)));
// -> 00:00 01/01/1970
 
// Day/month string patterns
console.log(hrt(new Date(0), 'Today is %day%'));
// -> Today is Thursday
 
// Relative pattern
console.log(hrt(new Date(0), '%relative% ago'));
// -> 45 years ago

Currying is also supported!

var hrt = require('human-readable-time');
 
// You can use date, pattern and both in constructor
var clock = new hrt('hh:mm');
 
console.log(clock(new Date(0)));
// -> 00:00
