react-native-time-helpers

This package aims to provide date helpers for Android, where .toLocaleDateXXX don't (always) work as expected. It's in no way a replacement for a full-fledged date/time library, and it currently only has defaults for English. However, if your project is in a single language, and you don't need timezone support (display cross timezones), this will work just fine.

Installation

yarn add react-native-time-helpers

Even though this package is meant for the react-native ecosystem, it has bundles for CJS, ES, UMD, and modern browsers.

Usage

toLocaleDateString has the following helpers:

• localeLongWeekDayString(date): return the weekday name of the date
• localeWeekDayString(date): return the weekday name (short) of the date
• localeDateString(date): return the date as {weekday} {day} {month} {year}
• localeTimeString(date): return the time as {hh}:{mm} (24h)

Each helper has optional options to override or change behaviour.
