Getting the BDF dependency

// import the the BDF dependency
import BDF from 'better-date-functions';

const { 
    getMonthLength,
    getMonthName,
    getWeekDayName,
    getWeekDayNameWithADate,
    setLanguage,
    getCurrentLanguage,
    getMonthInfo,
    getYearLength,
    setThrowingErrors,
    getCurrentThrowingErrorsState,
} = BDF; // Destructuring (optional)
// Using the functions

// Days must be a number between 1~31
// Months must be a number between 1~12
// Year Must be a number

//Example:

const day = 24
const month = 1
const year = 2022

const weekDayName = getWeekDayNameWithADate(day, month, year);

console.log(weekDayName) // returns "Monday"

All examples

//Example 1:

const weekDay = 1
const weekDayName = getWeekDayName(weekDay)
console.log(weekDayName) // returns "Sunday"
//Example 2:

const month = 3
const monthName = getMonthName(month)
console.log(monthName) // returns "March"
//Example 3:

const month = 3
const monthName = getMonthName(month)
console.log(monthName) // returns "March"
//Example 4:

const month = 2
const year = 2024
const monthLength = getMonthLength(month, year) // Year is optional, but for precise Length in February you need the year
console.log(monthLength) // returns 29
//Example 5:

const month = 1
const year = 2022
const monthInfo = getMonthInfo(month, year) // Year is optional, but for precise Length in February you need the year
console.log(monthInfo) // returns  { length: 31, name: "January", year: 2022 }
//Example 6:

const year1 = 2022
const year2 = 2024
const year1Length = getYearLength(year1)
const year2Length = getYearLength(year2)
console.log([year1Length, year2Length]) // returns [365, 366]

Examples with date

import { withDate } from 'better-date-functions'    // import the withDate functions
                                                    // you can destructurate too
                                                    // const { withDate } = BDF;
//Examples:

const date = new Date() // currently on 26th January, 2022

const weekDayName = withDate.getWeekDayName(date)
console.log(weekDayName) // returns "Wednesday"

const monthLength = withDate.getMonthLength(date)
console.log(monthLength) // returns 31

const monthName = withDate.getMonthName(date)
console.log(monthName) // returns "January"

const monthInfo = withDate.getMonthInfo(date)
console.log(monthInfo) // returns { name: "January", length: 31, year: 2022 }

const yearLength = withDate.getYearLength(date)
console.log(yearLength) // returns 365

const formatedDate = withDate.getformatedDate(date)
console.log(formatedDate) // returns 01/26/2022

const separator = "-"
const formatedDateWithCustomSeparator = withDate.getformatedDate(date, separator)
console.log(formatedDateWithCustomSeparator) // returns 01-26-2022

Configurations

//Changing the language of the returns

const weekDay = 1
const date = new Date() // currently on 26th January, 2022

let weekDayName = getWeekDayName(weekDay)
console.log(weekDayName) // returns "Sunday"

let formatedDate = withDate.getformatedDate(date)
console.log(formatedDate) // returns 01/26/2022

setLanguage('ptBR') // Currently supports "enUs" and "ptBr"

weekDayName = getWeekDayName(weekDay)
console.log(weekDayName) // returns "Domingo"

formatedDate = withDate.getformatedDate(date)
console.log(formatedDate) // returns 26/01/2022

const currentLanguage = getCurrentLanguage() // to get the current language configurated

console.log(currentLanguage) // returns "ptBr"
//Change the throwing errors configuration

let isThrowingErrors = getCurrentThrowingErrorsState() // by default the value of the state is true

console.log(isThrowingErrors) // returns true

setThrowingErrors(false) // you can change the state using this function

isThrowingErrors = getCurrentThrowingErrorsState()

console.log(isThrowingErrors) // returns false
