Provides some date utilities for developing Logseq plugins, in particular to cater to handling multiple user-defined date formats.
With npm:
```
npm i logseq-dateutils
Import (you may also import only selective functions for your needs):
``
import { getDateForPage, getDateForPageWithoutBrackets, getDayInText, getScheduledDeadlineDateDay, getScheduledDeadlineDateDayTime } from 'logseq-dateutils';
Below is an elaboration of the methods available:
Returns the specified date based on the user's preferred date format. Accepts 2 arguments. getDateForPage returns the date with brackets ([[date]]) while getDateForPageWithoutBrackets returns the date without the brackets.
`
import { getDateForPage, getDateForPageWithoutBrackets, getDayInText, getScheduledDeadlineDate } from 'logseq-dateutils';
const preferredDateFormat = 'yyyy/MM/dd';
const today = new Date();
const todayDateInUserFormat = getDateForPage(today, preferredDateFormat);
console.log(todayDateInUserFormat);
`
Returns the day, based on the specified date.
`
const today = new Date();
const todayDay = getDayInText(today);
`
Returns the date format that is needed (without the time) if your plugin requires creation of SCHEDULED or DEADLINE items.
`
const today = new Date();
await logseq.Editor.updateBlock(uuid, A quick brown fox
SCHEDULED: )`
Returns the date format that is needed (including the time) if your plugin requires creation of SCHEDULED or DEADLINE items.
`
const today = new Date();
await logseq.Editor.updateBlock(uuid, A quick brown fox
DEADLINE: )``
