# functional-date-time-helpers
Status:

functional-date-time-helpers are a few pure functions to manipulate date and time in your JavaScript projects. Think of it as a lightweight alternative to the date manipulation methods of [Moment.js](https://github.com/moment/moment/).
## Usage (node)
Install through npm
````
npm install --save functional-date-time-helpers
````
Require the library and use the provided functions
````javascript
var fdth = require('functional-date-time-helpers')
var threeMinutesInMilliseconds = fdth.minutes(3)
var now = new Date();
var treeMinutesAgo = fdth.subTime(threeMinutesInMilliseconds, now);
````
## Usage (browser)
Install using bower
````
bower install --save functional-date-time-helpers
````
Include it to your html page
````
````
Use the provided functions
````javascript
var fdth = window.functionalDateTimeHelpers;
var now = new Date();
var inThreeDays = fdth.addTime(fdth.days(3), now);
````
## Performance
One of the goals of this library is to provide fast functions for date and time manipulation.
While the popular [Moment.js](https://github.com/moment/moment/) is a great library with lots of functionality it has also some performance problems when manipulating date and time.
That is why I created functional-date-time-helpers with optimized functions that can give you a significant performance boost compared to the equivalent methods of [Moment.js](https://github.com/moment/moment/).
I also included a benchmark suite that you can run to check the performance of each function.
To run the benchmark simply call this command:
````
npm run perf
````
