Manipulate date and time in JavaScript using MomentJS
Blog post from LogRocket
Moment.js is a JavaScript library designed to simplify the manipulation of dates and times in development projects, offering an intuitive API that addresses the complexities often associated with JavaScript's native Date object. It can be implemented both in-browser and server-side, with installation options including npm for Node.js or through a CDN for browser use. Moment.js allows developers to seamlessly format, add, subtract, and compare dates using various methods such as `format()`, `add()`, `subtract()`, and `diff()`, among others. It supports method chaining for more complex operations and provides utilities to check for conditions like daylight saving time and leap years, ensuring robust handling of date and time data. Additionally, moment.js can represent relative time differences and validate date formats, making it a versatile tool for developers seeking an efficient solution for date and time manipulation in JavaScript applications.
