moment-timezone VS Luxon

moment-timezone is pretty great. However the moment library is no longer maintained, and there's some complications to its use due to it being mutable. Still works great though.

It was actually much easier to make than I thought it would be, thanks to Moment.

The clock is in Javascript. Time zones in JavaScript historically are non-trivial since everything is based on the client clocktime. Fortunately, there is moment.js and moment-timezone-with-data.js that vastly simplify getting the current time at the NYSE. The clock keeps ticking correctly irregardless of which tab is active. I find the clock to be also functional since the WSBoy is worn over where I would usually be wearing my watch.

I used the Moment-Timezone library, which returns, well, all the timezones! Super easy to get started with, just add using npm or yarn to add it, and then add import moment from 'moment-timezone'; to the top of your file.

Luxon (14.7k ⭐) — A library that leverages JavaScript’s Intl for speed and slimness while providing what Intl doesn’t: an immutable user-friendly API. It also supports time zones and localization.

Luxon is another date and time library written in JavaScript. Luxon works on both browsers and Node.js. The author of Luxon, Isaac Cambrion, was also a contributor to Moment.js before it became deprecated. Now, the team behind Moment.js recommends Luxon, calling it “an evolution of Moment.js.” Luxon’s documentation can even be found in GitHub pages for Moment.js.

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:
