# AMD Date

_AMD-compatible JavaScript date printer._

Use [Ruby-like string-to-time formats](http://rubyinrails.com/2013/09/strftime-format-time-in-ruby/) to get a JavaScript date as a string.

## Usage

1. Use [RequireJS](http://requirejs.org) or a similar module loader.

2. Add _index.js_ to your project.

3.    Load this script in a `define` or `require` (see [RequireJS’s docs](http://requirejs.org/docs/api.html#define)):

    ```javascript

    require(['path/to/amd-date/index'], function(DateHelper) {

      ...

    });

    ```

4.    Inside your module, use the `formatDate` method by passing it a date and desired output format:

    ```javascript

      var myDate = new Date();

      var myFormattedDate = DateHelper.formatDate(myDate, '
%B %d %Y

');


      console.log(myFormattedDate);

      // => 
May 14 2014



    ```


## Format Reference

* `%H`: Hour (24)

* `%I`: Hour (12)

* `%M`: Minutes

* `%S`: Seconds

* `%Y`: Year

* `%m`: Month

* `%d`: day

* `%w`: Week day

* `%a`: Week day name (short)

* `%A`: Week day name (full)

* `%b`: Month name (short)

* `%B`: Month name (full)

* `%y`: Year (without century)

* `%Z`: Time zone

* `%p`: AM/PM

## ToDos

* Fix `%Z` timezone output

* Internationalization

* Add tests _(help needed!)
