How to work with date in Node.js

This repository has working with date examples.

Especially, I compared four apis, native JS date, moment, date-fns and dayjs.

TLDR;

To me, dayjs was the best fit.

Its api is quite similar to moment yet has much smaller size (Gzipped: 2.9K).

And also dayjs's api is immutable (returns new object instead of mutating original like moment),

thus doesn't produce unexpected side effects.
