Fast 2kB alternative to Moment.js with the same modern API

> Day.js is a minimalist JavaScript library that parses, validates, manipulates, and displays dates and times for modern browsers with a largely Moment.js-compatible API. If you use Moment.js, you already know how to use Day.js. ```js dayjs().startOf('month').add(1, 'day').set('year', 2018).format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'); ``` * 🕒 Familiar Moment.js API & patterns * 💪 Immutable * 🔥 Chainable * 🌐 I18n support * 📦 2kb mini library * 👫 All browsers supported --- ## Getting Started ### Documentation You can find more details, API, and other docs on [day.js.org](https://day.js.org/) website. ### Installation ```console npm install dayjs --save ``` 📚[Installation Guide](https://day.js.org/docs/en/installation/installation) ### API It's easy to use Day.js APIs to parse, validate, manipulate, and display dates and times. ```javascript dayjs('2018-08-08') // parse dayjs().format('{YYYY} MM-DDTHH:mm:ss SSS [Z] A') // display dayjs().set('month', 3).month() // get & set dayjs().add(1, 'year') // manipulate dayjs().isBefore(dayjs()) // query ``` 📚[API Reference](https://day.js.org/docs/en/parse/parse) ### I18n Day.js has great support for internationalization. But none of them will be included in your build unless you use it. ```javascript import 'dayjs/locale/es' // load on demand dayjs.locale('es') // use Spanish locale globally dayjs('2018-05-05').locale('zh-cn').format() // use Chinese Simplified locale in a specific instance ``` 📚[Internationalization](https://day.js.org/docs/en/i18n/i18n) ### Plugin A plugin is an independent module that can be added to Day.js to extend functionality or add new features. ```javascript import advancedFormat from 'dayjs/plugin/advancedFormat' // load on demand dayjs.extend(advancedFormat) // use plugin dayjs().format('Q Do k kk X x') // more available formats ``` 📚[Plugin List](https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/plugin) ## Sponsors Support this project by becoming a sponsor.
