Luxon VS date-fns

To be honest, use a library where someone else figured out the ambiguities and accounted for the edge cases. Good starting point: https://moment.github.io/luxon/#/math

Date-fns is fine for simpler use cases but Luxon is a lot more complete, especially where it comes to time zones.

8. Luxon: Mastering Time and Timezones for Precision Data Handling

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.

Pain

I haven't seen this before, but I currently use Luxon most of the time and it makes working with dates and times a lot less painful.

Eleventyone’s project scaffold includes: Eleventy with a skeleton site, a date format filter for Nunjucks based on Luxon, a tiny CSS pipeline with PostCSS, an equally tiny inline JS pipeline, JS search index generator, Netlify Dev for testing Netlify redirects, and a serverless (FaaS) development pipeline with Netlify Dev and Netlify Functions.

Luxon is a powerful and lightweight JavaScript library for working with dates and times. It was created as an alternative to the popular Moment.js library, with the goal of being faster, smaller, and easier to use.

If you ever wondered how luxon and native JS-Dates (with TimeZones) behave when converting them between each other and ISO-Date-Strings here are my tests:

But how does this compare to Luxon? (https://moment.github.io/luxon/#/why)

// 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.
