YOU MIGHT NOT NEED DATE-FNS

But you should use date-fns.

Not only it’s a great library, battle tested and with a strong team, but also dates in javascript are a pain to work with, no point in dealing with them at a low level when there are such well crafted libraries around. The goal of this project is NOT to provide drop in replacements, but to show how achieve similar functionalities in plain Javascript, to understand how things work behind the hood.

Being a learning platform, some implementations have been simplified to make them more digestible, and they might miss edge cases covered in the original version.

On top of that there are a lot of methods yet to be ported including what’s probably the most needed: format; please help contributing on github.
