## Installation
**In Browser**
```html
```
**Using NPM**
```
npm i @fr0st/datetime
```
In Node.js:
```javascript
import DateTime from '@fr0st/datetime';
```
## Date Creation
- `dateString` is a string representing the date, and will default to the current timestamp.
- `options` is an object containing options for creating the new date.
- `timeZone` is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
- `locale` is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to the system locale.
```javascript
const dateTime = new DateTime(dateString, options);
```
**From Array**
- `dateArray` is an array containing the year, month, date, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds.
- `options` is an object containing options for creating the new date.
- `timeZone` is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
- `locale` is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to the system locale.
```javascript
const dateTime = DateTime.fromArray(dateArray, options);
```
The month and date in the `dateArray` will default to 1 if not set. The hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds will default to 0.
**From Date**
- `dateObj` is a native JS *Date* object.
- `options` is an object containing options for creating the new date.
- `timeZone` is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
- `locale` is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to the system locale.
```javascript
const dateTime = DateTime.fromDate(dateObj, options);
```
**From Format**
If you wish to parse a date string and you know the exact format, you can use the `fromFormat` static method.
- `formatString` is a string containing the format you wish to use for parsing.
- `dateString` is a string representing the date you are parsing.
- `options` is an object containing options for creating the new date.
- `timeZone` is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
- `locale` is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to the system locale.
The `formatString` supports a subset of the ICU specification described in [Formats](Formats.md).
The `isValid` property on the created *DateTime* object can be used to determine whether a formatted string was a valid date.
```javascript
const dateTime = DateTime.fromFormat(formatString, dateString, options);
```
**From ISO String**
- `dateString` is a string representing the date you are parsing.
- `options` is an object containing options for creating the new date.
- `timeZone` is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
- `locale` is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to English.
The `dateString` must be in *yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSxxx*" format and in English.
If the `timeZone` option is also passed, the created *DateTime* will be converted to the new `timeZone`.
The `isValid` property on the created *DateTime* object can be used to determine whether a formatted string was a valid date.
```javascript
const dateTime = DateTime.fromISOString(dateString, options);
```
**From Timestamp**
- `timestamp` is the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch.
- `options` is an object containing options for creating the new date.
- `timeZone` is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
- `locale` is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to the system locale.
```javascript
const dateTime = DateTime.fromTimestamp(timestamp, options);
```
**Now**
- `options` is an object containing options for creating the new date.
- `timeZone` is a string representing the time zone of the date, and will default to the system time zone.
- `locale` is a string representing the locale of the date, and will default to the system locale.
```javascript
const dateTime = DateTime.now(options);
```
## Date Formatting
**Format**
Once you have created a *DateTime* object, you can get a string representation using a specific format with the `format` method.
- `formatString` is a string containing the format you wish to output using.
The `formatString` supports a subset of the ICU specification described in [Formats](Formats.md).
```javascript
const dateString = dateTime.format(formatString);
```
**To String**
Format the current date using "*eee MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss xx (VV)*".
```javascript
const string = dateTime.toString();
```
**To Date String**
Format the current date using "*eee MMM dd yyyy*".
```javascript
const dateString = dateTime.toDateString();
```
**To ISO String**
Format the current date using "*yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSxxx*" (in English and UTC time zone).
```javascript
const isoString = dateTime.toISOString();
```
**To Time String**
Format the current date using "*HH:mm:ss xx (VV)*".
```javascript
const timeString = dateTime.toTimeString();
```
**To UTC String**
Format the current date using "*eee MMM dd yyyy HH:mm:ss xx (VV)*" (in UTC time zone).
```javascript
const utcString = dateTime.toUTCString();
```
