momentarily-awful.js

bring a moment of awfulness to your codebase with this amateur-inspiring date formatting library, which makes it a principle to allow infinite formatting possibilities by treating dates as objects with functions that return numbers.

Also, the source code is tiny, weighing in at jut 65 bytes.

Installing

• install bower with npm
• run bower install momentarily-awful.js

Usage

momentarily-awful.js formats are a superset of javascript. There is one special character in momentarily-awful.js formats

• d - indicates the date you are formatting

But don't let that turn you off, because all of JavaScript is made available to you as well!

Example formats:

• Get day - momentarilyAwful(date, "d.getDate()+1");
• Get month - momentarilyAwful(date, "d.getMonth()+1");
• Get year - momentarilyAwful(date, "d.getFullYear()");
• Month Day Year - momentarilyAwful(date, "d.getFullYear() + '-' + (d.getMonth() + 1 < 10 ? '0' + (d.getMonth() + 1) : (d.getMonth() + 1)) + '-' + (d.getDate() < 10 ? '0' + d.getDate() : d.getDate())");

Plugins

To reduce boilerplate you can easily define modules:

'using momentarilyAwful';
function m(d) {
    return d.getMonths() > 9 ? d.getMonths() + 1 : '0' + (d.getMonths() + 1);
}

And use it just as easily:

momentarilyAwful(date, "m(d)");
