Version 2.28.0 Details

Date-fns version 2.28.0 and 2.27.0 are minor releases of the popular JavaScript date utility library, offering developers a comprehensive suite of functions for date manipulation, formatting, and calculations. Both versions share identical dependencies and devDependencies, including tools for testing (Jest, Karma, Mocha, Sinon), linting (ESLint), building (Webpack, Babel), and code quality (Prettier, Coveralls). This consistency ensures a stable and reliable development environment for the library itself.

The primary difference lies in the "dist" section of the package manifest. Version 2.28.0 has a slightly larger unpacked size (6,470,982 bytes) and file count (5560) compared to 2.27.0 (6,467,583 bytes and 5556 files, respectively). This suggests that 2.28.0 may include minor additions, bug fixes, or performance improvements that affect the overall size of the distributed package. Developers upgrading from 2.27.0 should review the changelog to understand the specific changes introduced.

Date-fns provides a modern and modular approach to date handling, unlike some older libraries that mutate date objects or rely on global state. It offers a wide range of functions for formatting dates in various locales, calculating differences between dates, adding or subtracting time units, and more. Its modular design allows developers to import only the functions they need, reducing bundle size and improving performance. With its comprehensive features and commitment to immutability, Date-fns simplifies date-related tasks and contributes to cleaner, more maintainable JavaScript code.
