Tempo is a new date package designed to be small and is the easiest way to work with dates in JavaScript and TypeScript:
Tempo is a new library in a proud tradition of JavaScript date and time libraries. Inspired by the likes of moment.js, day.js, and date-fns, Tempo is built from the ground up to be as small and easy to use as possible — including first-class support for timezone operations.
It includes a collection of utilities for working with JavaScript’s native Date object, such as format and parse:
import { format, parse } from "@formkit/tempo" const readable = format(new Date(), "full"); // Sunday, February 18, 2024 parse(readable, "full"); // Date: 2024-02-18T07:00:00.000Z
Tempo comes with a variety of format styles (i.e., full in the previous example) and tokens for formatting dates in any way you might need. You can also find a large number of modifiers and timezone support:
import { addDay, tzDate } from "@formkit/tempo" // Add 1 day addDay("2013-03-15"); // 2013-03-16T07:00:00.000Z // Produces the date for 12 noon Nov 18, 2013 in New York tzDate("2013-11-18 12:00", "America/New_York")
Tempo looks impressive, offering much of what you'd need to work with dates and has excellent documentation around its functionality; you can get started by reading the docs at tempo.formkit.com. The source code is also available on GitHub at formkit/tempo.
