Date-fns is a modern JavaScript date utility library offering a comprehensive suite of functions for date manipulation, formatting, and calculation. Version 1.28.3 builds upon the solid foundation of 1.28.2, providing developers with a reliable and efficient toolset for handling dates in their applications. Both versions share the same core principle: providing focused, modular functions that avoid modifying native Date objects, promoting immutability and preventing unexpected side effects. Crucially, both have no dependencies, ensuring a lean footprint in your bundle.
The key difference lies in bug fixes and minor improvements introduced in version 1.28.3, solidifying the library's stability. For developers, this means a greater level of confidence when implementing date-fns in production environments. While the core functionalities remain consistent, the updated version offers a refined experience.
For those new to date-fns, its modular architecture is particularly advantageous. You can import only the functions you need, resulting in smaller bundle sizes compared to monolithic date libraries. Both versions are equipped with a rich set of development dependencies, including testing frameworks like Mocha, Sinon for spies and stubs, and various Karma launchers for cross-browser compatibility testing. These tools demonstrate the library's commitment to quality and thorough testing. Furthermore, linters such as Standard and code beautifiers like js-beautify ensure code style consistency. If you are using the library in an environment with Flow, the definitions are provided by flow-bin.
