This fork was started improve and maintain DateJS. To keep what is still the most full featured JavaScript Date library alive, maintained, and improved. Currently we're on track towards a 1.0 release - having fixed almost all the existing bugs and added several new features, improved parsing, and many other changes. ### How to Install/Use [](#how-to-installuse) DateJS supports running either your regular web browser as a client library or Node.js. #### In Node.js [](#in-nodejs) Installation is as easy as running: ``` npm install datejs ``` To run just `require('datejs')` and DateJS will extend the built in Date object like it does in the browser. #### For a Browser [](#for-a-browser) If you use [Bower](http://bower.io/) to manage your frontend packages then it's also really simple: ``` bower install datejs ``` Otherwise... - For production environments include [the production ready minified file from the Build directory](https://github.com/abritinthebay/datejs/blob/master/build/production/date.min.js) on your page. - For debugging (eg, in development) include [the unminified and fully commented version](https://github.com/abritinthebay/datejs/blob/master/build/date.js) #### International Language Versions [](#international-language-versions) DateJS supports 157 different languages and dialects and ships with US English as the default. It is however easily changed and you can support languages on the fly or just a specific subset. ##### In Node.js [](#in-nodejs-1) Just call the following: `Date.i18n.setLanguage([country code])`Where "country code" is the appropriate IETF code for the language (e.g. "de-DE", or "es-MX") and DateJS will import the correct strings for that language. ##### In a Browser [](#in-a-browser) For browsers DateJS has langauge support in one of two ways: 1. Set `Date.Config.i18n` to the location of [the internationalization files](https://github.com/abritinthebay/datejs/blob/master/build/i18n/) on your server and DateJS will dynamically load the files by dynamic script element insertion. You can support all languages this way. 2. Or download the appropriate file from [the Build directory of your choice](https://github.com/abritinthebay/datejs/blob/master/build/). Files are named after the IETF code the load (i.e. `date-es-MX.js` loads Mexican Spanish). This static method will *only* allow you support of the selected language & US English. DateJS +will always support loading US English\_ via `Date.i18n.setLanguage("en-US")` no matter what other language is specifically loaded. So you can always support both your localization and the English speaking world. File Structure -------------- [](#file-structure) - `build/` Output from the Grunt powered build process - Non-minified files with full comments. Suitable for development environments. - `production/` Fully minified (by Google's Closure Compiler) files suitable for production. - `src` All the source files used to build the final files. - `core/` The main DateJS source files. - `i18n/` Internationalization files. Language specifics (days of the week, regex formats,etc). Organized by IETF language tag (eg - en-US, etc). - `specs/` Unit Tests written using [Jasmine](https://jasmine.github.io/). Code coverage is calculated by [BlanketJS](http://blanketjs.org/). - `reports/` Code coverage reports in `lcov` and `html` that are generated by [Istanbul](http://gotwarlost.github.io/istanbul/) - `tests/` Orginal unit tests for 2008 project. *Deprecated* ### Health Score 24 — LowBetter than 32% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity5 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity51 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
