Parse Date Time

A way of parsing human readable dates and timespans in Javascript.

Usage

var parseDateTime = require("parsedatetime");

var date = parseDateTime("in 10 minutes");
if (date) {
	console.log("Got it:", date);
} else {
	console.log("That's not a date!");
}

Inputs and Responses

in 1 hour 10 seconds

Mistakes

The parser aims to be pretty strict while also accepting "odd" inputs. Sometimes it will understand inputs that are very ambigious but also disallow inputs that some people may think are fairly clear. Feel free to submit an issue if you believe the parser is not working correctly for a particular input string.

Other Languages

Currently this module is specific to english. It should be fairly simple to add new languages, so if you are up to the task feel free to submit an issue and pull request.
