README
# tinydate  [](https://licenses.dev/npm/tinydate) [](https://npmjs.org/package/tinydate)
> A tiny (349B) reusable date formatter. Extremely fast!
[Demo](https://jsfiddle.net/lukeed/aoy0xeze/)
Inspired by [`tinytime`][tinytime], this module returns a "render" function that efficiently re-render your deconstructed template. This allows for [incredibly performant](#benchmarks) results!
However, please notice that this only provides a [limited subset of Date methods](#patterns).
If you need more, [`tinytime`][tinytime] or [`date-fns`](https://github.com/date-fns/date-fns) are great alternatives!
## Install
```
$ npm install --save tinydate
```
## Usage
```js
const tinydate = require('tinydate');
const fooDate = new Date('5/1/2017, 4:30:09 PM');
const stamp = tinydate('Current time: [{HH}:{mm}:{ss}]');
stamp(fooDate);
//=> Current time: [16:30:09]
stamp();
//=> Current time: [17:09:34]
```
## API
### tinydate(pattern, dict?)(date?)
Returns: `Function`
Returns a rendering function that will optionally accept a [`date`](#date) value as its only argument.
#### pattern
Type: `String`
Required: `true`
The template pattern to be parsed.
#### dict
Type: `Object`
Required: `false`
A custom dictionary of template patterns. You may override [existing patterns](#patterns) or declare new ones.
> **Important:** All dictionary items **must be a function** and must control its own formatting.
For example, when defining your own `{ss}` template, `tinydate` **will not** pad its value to two digits.
```js
const today = new Date('2019-07-04, 5:30:00 PM');
// Example custom dictionary:
// - Adds {MMMM}
// - Overrides {DD}
const stamp = tinydate('Today is: {MMMM} {DD}, {YYYY}', {
MMMM: d => d.toLocaleString('default', { month: 'long' }),
DD: d => d.getDate()
});
stamp(today);
//=> 'Today is: July 4, 2019'
```
#### date
Type: `Date`
Default: `new Date()`
The date from which to retrieve values. Defaults to current datetime if no value is provided.
## Patterns
- `{YYYY}`: full year; eg: **2017**
- `{YY}`: short year; eg: **17**
- `{MM}`: month; eg: **04**
- `{DD}`: day; eg: **01**
- `{HH}`: hours; eg: **06** (24h)
- `{mm}`: minutes; eg: **59**
- `{ss}`: seconds; eg: **09**
- `{fff}`: milliseconds; eg: **555**
