Usage

After installing easy-dates, using it is as simple as importing (or requiring) the function at the top of your project or component file.

ES Modules

import { dateNow } from 'easy-dates';

Then you can use it normally, like you would any other function. Here's a React.js example.

src/components/MyComponent.jsx

import React from 'react';
import { dateNow } from "easy-dates";

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <div>
      <p>{dateNow('en-CA')}</p>
    </div>
  )
}

CommonJS

index.js

const { dateNow } = require('easy-dates');

const todaysDate = dateNow('en-CA');

console.log(todaysDate);

In the example above, the dateNow() function takes in a single argument (the en-CA locale), and returns the current date, in the specified locale. In the example, the return value would look something like 2022-03-17, 11:50:09 p.m.
