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.

What library do you use to handle dates?

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.

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.
