:clock10: Human readable datetime values for JavaScript and TypeScript.

shleemy

Simple human readable intervals for those that don't want to go to time prison.

Handy interval diff object for customisable, rounded, human readable phrases such as "in 3 days", "12 years ago", "a minute ago", "just now".

• Small
• Mighty
• No dependencies
• Easy to use
• You won't go to time prison for messing with time

Inspiration take from Carbon

Install

$ yarn add shleemy

Or

$ npm i shleemy

Usage

Basic

Get human readable values with tense information

Present

import { shleemy } from "shleemy";

const interval = shleemy(new Date());

console.log(interval.forHumans); // "just now"
console.log(interval.tense); // "present"

Past

import { shleemy } from "shleemy";

const date = new Date();
date.setMinutes(date.getMinutes() - 3);

console.log(shleemy(date).forHumans); // "3 minutes ago"
console.log(shleemy(date).tense); // "past"

Future

import { shleemy } from "shleemy";

const date = new Date();
date.setMinutes(date.getMinutes() + 70);

console.log(shleemy(date).forHumans); // "in an hour"
console.log(shleemy(date).tense); // "future"

interval values

import { shleemy } from "shleemy";

const date = new Date();
date.setHours(date.getHours() - 3);

console.log(shleemy(date).roundedHours); // 3

import { shleemy } from "shleemy";

const date = new Date();
date.setDays(date.getDays() - 12);

console.log(shleemy(date).roundedDays); // 12
console.log(shleemy(date).roundedWeeks); // 1

Basic Formatting

const date = new Date();
date.setDays(date.getDays() - 12);

const interval = shleemy(date);

console.log(interval.time); // 12:34
console.log(interval.date); // 12/03/2021

No locale as of now, so you backwards date people will have to do with day/month/year. Soz

Output manipulation

The Shleemy object can be used as a string!

import { shleemy } from "shleemy";

const date = new Date();
date.setDays(date.getDays() - 12);

const interval = shleemy(date);

console.log(`added ${interval}`); // added 12 days ago;
console.log(`${interval.replace('days', 'yonders')}`); // 12 yonders ago;

Available properties

import { shleemy } from "shleemy";

const date = new Date();
date.setDays(date.getDays() - 12);
const interval = shleemy(date);

console.log('seconds', interval.seconds);
console.log('rounded seconds', interval.roundedSeconds);
console.log('minutes', interval.minutes);
console.log('rounded minutes', interval.roundedMinutes);
console.log('hours', interval.hours);
console.log('rounded hours', interval.roundedHours);
console.log('days', interval.days);
console.log('rounded days', interval.roundedDays);
console.log('weeks', interval.weeks);
console.log('rounded weeks', interval.roundedWeeks);
console.log('months', interval.months);
console.log('rounded months', interval.roundedMonths);
console.log('years', interval.years);
console.log('rounded years', interval.roundedYears);
console.log('tense', interval.tense);

All properties will be positive values. You cannot have -3 days in the 4th dimension. Use tense for past/present/future value

Options

import { shleemy, ShleemyInterval } from "shleemy";

const date = new Date();
date.setDays(date.getDays() - 12);

const toDate = new Date();
toDate.setDays(toDate.getDays() - 20);

console.log(
  shleemy(date, {
    toDate: toDate, // default: new Date() (now)
    rounding: 'ceil', // default: floor
    humanReadable: {
      past: (value, interval) => `${value} ${ShleemyInterval.pluralInterval(value, interval)} yonders ago`, // default: ShleemyInterval.toHumanReadablePast
      future: (value, interval) => `in ${value} ${ShleemyInterval.pluralInterval(value, interval)} and you get the idea`, // default: ShleemyInterval.toHumanReadableFuture
      present: () => `seconds ago!`, // default: "just now"
    }
  }).days
); // 8
