Date formatting utility, similar to PHP's date()
npm install date-format-phpAdds format() method to the built-in Date object's prototype, that can be used in a way similar to PHP's date():
``javascript``
new Date().format("Y-m-d H:i:s");// "2018-05-10 08:50:05"
This is a simple date formatting utility. If you need sophisticated mangling with dates, consider using momentjs or datejs
