# datebob.js
DateBobJS is a javascript which recreates the good parts of php class [Carbon](https://carbon.nesbot.com/docs/) to have a nice and easy way to handle dates and times. DateBobJS combines two awesome javascripts ([strtotime](https://locutus.io/php/datetime/strtotime/) like [datetime formats](https://www.php.net/manual/de/datetime.formats.relative.php), [date](https://locutus.io/php/datetime/date/)) into one single javascript.

## Ideas
##### 1. New date formatting with Intl.DateTimeFormat language support
Use this for formatting, and get language support:
https://jsbin.com/velaqabivo/1/edit?js,console
carbon().locale('de').format('F') // => Januar
##### 2. New relative formatting with Intl.RelativeTimeFormat
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/RelativeTimeFormat
carbon().locale('en').relformat() // "in 3 days" or "3 days ago"
