Date parsing plugin for dayjs
npm install dayjs-parser



!Tree shakeable

The most comprehensive and accurate date parser for Node and browsers. It usesIntl to provide parsing support for all installed locales. This plugin
connects the capabilities of
any-date-parser to
dayjs.
It allows passing every imaginable date format to the dayjs() function. Most
locales are supported automatically.

1. The APIs I consume have a lot of different date formats
1. I want to create REST APIs that accept all major formats
1. I want to handle user-input dates
1. I want to support dates in other languages according to JavaScript's new
Intl global object
``bash`
npm install dayjs dayjs-parser
Register as a regular dayjs plugin
`js
import dayjs from 'dayjs';
import dayjsParser from 'dayjs-parser';
dayjs.extend(dayjsParser);
const date1 = dayjs('Wed Jan 19 2022 17:52:46');
const date2 = dayjs('in 2 weeks');
const date3 = dayjs('2016-03-05T23:59:59.000Z');
`
Dropped support for importing from dayjs-parser/dayjs. Now you must register
dayjsParser as a plugin. Both cjs and esm now supported.
Locales are supported by first setting the global locale:
`js
import dayjs from 'dayjs';
import dayjsParser from 'dayjs-parser';
dayjs.extend(dayjsParser);
dayjs.locale('fr');
const date = dayjs('15 septembre 2015');
`
Note that your system must have that locale installed.
See the Dayjs docs on locales
