Local Date

[vladjerca]

I'm currently working on a project and found your library. It's light weight and does exactly what I need, it lacked the local ISO string format convenience method which I personally need in my current project.

I added the 'getLocalDate' to allow date fetching with the client offset.

How about to move this method into a service instead of adding it to this module? It doesn't require Angular or the datetime parser.

function getLocalISOString(now) {
    var tzo = -now.getTimezoneOffset(),
        dif = tzo >= 0 ? '+' : '-',
        pad = function(num) {
            var norm = Math.abs(Math.floor(num));
            return (norm < 10 ? '0' : '') + norm;
        };
    return now.getFullYear() 
        + '-' + pad(now.getMonth()+1)
        + '-' + pad(now.getDate())
        + 'T' + pad(now.getHours())
        + ':' + pad(now.getMinutes()) 
        + ':' + pad(now.getSeconds()) 
        + dif + pad(tzo / 60) 
        + ':' + pad(tzo % 60);
}

Then use it like:

localDate = getLocalISOString(myDate);

Or, extend the Date class:

Date.prototype.toLocalISOString = function(){
    var now = this,
        tzo = -now.getTimezoneOffset(),
        dif = tzo >= 0 ? '+' : '-',
        pad = function(num) {
            var norm = Math.abs(Math.floor(num));
            return (norm < 10 ? '0' : '') + norm;
        };
    return now.getFullYear()
        + '-' + pad(now.getMonth()+1)
        + '-' + pad(now.getDate())
        + 'T' + pad(now.getHours())
        + ':' + pad(now.getMinutes())
        + ':' + pad(now.getSeconds())
        + dif + pad(tzo / 60)
        + ':' + pad(tzo % 60);
};

Then use it like:

localDate = myDate.toLocalISOString();

No worries, I just thought it would be a helpful extension.
