date-fns



date-fns provides the most comprehensive, yet simple and consistent toolset for manipulating JavaScript dates in a browser & Node.js



👉 [Documentation](https://date-fns.org/)



👉 [Blog](https://blog.date-fns.org/)






It's like [Lodash](https://lodash.com) for dates



- It has [**200+ functions** for all occasions](https://date-fns.org/docs/Getting-Started/).

- **Modular**: Pick what you need. Works with webpack, Browserify, or Rollup and also supports tree-shaking.

- **Native dates**: Uses existing native type. It doesn't extend core objects for safety's sake.

- **Immutable & Pure**: Built using pure functions and always returns a new date instance.

- **TypeScript**: The library is 100% TypeScript with brand-new handcrafted types.

- **I18n**: Dozens of locales. Include only what you need.

- [and many more benefits](https://date-fns.org/)



```js

import { compareAsc, format } from "date-fns";



format(new Date(2014, 1, 11), "yyyy-MM-dd");

//=> '2014-02-11'



const dates = [

  new Date(1995, 6, 2),

  new Date(1987, 1, 11),

  new Date(1989, 6, 10),

];

dates.sort(compareAsc);

//=> [

//   Wed Feb 11 1987 00:00:00,

//   Mon Jul 10 1989 00:00:00,

//   Sun Jul 02 1995 00:00:00

// ]

```



The library is available as an [npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/date-fns).

To install the package run:
