Dayjs is a lightweight JavaScript date library, offering developers a compelling alternative to Moment.js. Both versions 1.8.30 and 1.8.29 provide the same modern API and promise a small footprint, around 2KB. Looking at the metadata, the main differences between these versions lie in their distribution details and release dates. Version 1.8.30 was released on July 22, 2020, while version 1.8.29 was released earlier on July 2, 2020. This suggests that version 1.8.30 incorporates bug fixes or minor improvements implemented after version 1.8.29.
The dist object reveals that 1.8.30 has a fileCount of 376 and an unpackedSize of 481150 bytes, compared to 1.8.29's fileCount of 372 and unpackedSize of 474629 bytes. This slight increase in file count and unpacked size likely reflects the aforementioned fixes or minor enhancements. For developers, this usually translates to a more refined and potentially more stable experience. While the core functionalities remain consistent, opting for the newer version, 1.8.30, generally offers the benefits of the latest refinements. Dayjs' immutable nature and familiar API make it simple for developers to manipulate, validate, and format dates in a wide variety of Javascript applications, lowering overhead compared some of the alternatives. Version 1.8.30 is the better choice for new projects that do not need to maintain legacy environments where dependency upgrades would be problematic.
