LAP: date-fns or dayjs

[devraj]

This is a plugin acceptance proposal for date-fns or day-js

Dates are sent as ISO strings in API responses. This is standard practice for JSON, in our previous prestans based stack we had a wrapper (as we controlled the server and generated code) where it would be able to parse the date strings on the client and the application could hand that off to prestans to do.

Having moved our stack we have lost this function and will have to handle this on our own.

date-fns seems to be a comprehensive and easy to. use library. I put forward this to be included as a standard issue for our applications.

day-js is also an equivalent competitor.

It will also be useful for us to outline some standard use cases.
