date-fns VS Strapi

// Prevent the date to lose the milliseconds when passed to new Date() in IE10 return new (argument.constructor as GenericDateConstructor)( +argument, ); // Source: https://github.com/date-fns/date-fns/blob/5c1adb5369805ff552737bf8017dbe07f559b0c6/src/toDate/index.ts#L46

For the longest time working with dates in JavaScript was a huge pain. That’s why libraries such as moment.js or date-fns are so popular. A lot of times I’d reach for these libraries when working with relative time formatting, but since late last year we’ve had pretty great browser support for the RelativeTimeFormat() method. In my mind, relative dates are just more visually appealing, especially for working with dates internationally. Dates like "5 days ago" or "in 2 months" are far more intuitive for users than 12/12/2023, or 03/11/2027. Folks in the US will see that as March 11, 2027, whereas the rest of the world will see that as November 03, 2027. What a nightmare.

8. Date-fns - Simplifying Time Manipulation ⏳

I work with date-fns and date-fns-tz

In past i used Moment, but I read that we should avoid to use it for future projects. I read someone suggested to use Datejs, but it doesn't seems to be updated, last time was 8 years ago. Currently I'm thinking to use Luxon but I someone suggest Date-fns also.

date-fns : Date handling

Thanks! I used date-fns for the calendar

I've used this before and I like it more

The default date constructor does a really great job at parsing in most cases and things like addition/subtraction along with many other common operations are usually just simple math. If you really want to abstract that use date-fns where most date operations are tree shakable to be left with just a few lines of code.

Strapi provides a centralized data managing platform. This makes it easier to organize, update, and maintain the FAQ data. It also automatically generates a RESTful API for accessing the content stored in its database.

https://prisma.io is popular as I understand it. I've been trying out https://strapi.io the last week and am thoroughly impressed.

They both do much more than build queries. One big thing both do is automate database migration calculations. Strapi goes further and gives you a CMS and admin UI on top, as well as doing a lot more of the complex query building from a json object. Both still require a fundamental understanding of the data model and SQL

As of April 2024, Strapi's GitHub repository has garnered 59.7k stars and 7.5k forks, showcasing its widespread adoption. The project has also secured a substantial $45+ million in funding, cementing its position as a prominent player in the headless CMS space.

const pages = await client.GET("/pages", { params: { query: { filters: { // @ts-ignore - openapi generated from strapi results in Record // https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues/19644 path: { $eq: path, }, }, // @ts-ignore populate: { blocks: { populate: "*" }, }, }, }, });

On a side note. Where do all these endpoints come from? Strapi is open source. We can read the source code. All these endpoint come from the Users and permissions plugin. So, if we go to Strapi on github and browse around the files a bit eventually you will find the auth.js file that contains all of the routes. You can also find the Strapi controllers in there if you're interested.
