3 date-fns.js Examples
The demos presented clearly show why date-fns has become a popular alternative to Moment.js. It’s built on functional programming principles, making the code more predictable and easier to test. date-fns offers intuitive functions for formatting, comparing, and manipulating dates. Its focus on modularity allows you to include only the necessary functions in your project, which minimizes code size and speeds up page loading. It’s the perfect solution for modern JavaScript projects.
