moment VS jquery-timeago

We could control the DST flip by setting the test's input time to the appropriate time of year (summer/winter). However we couldn't control the timezone. We had to adjust the expected data in the test 🤢 using the same library which the production code used (momentjs).

8. Moment.js

This may sound a bit general but we can't forget about well-tought code. If we are using a lot of external dependencies, we can check if there aren't many lighter alternatives. Example? Some people are still using moment.js for date formatting. Why not use a lightweight 2kb alternative instead? Writing clean, organized and maintainable code won't give us a huge score boost but we are trying to save every byte of data, right? 😉

We all know the pain of working with dates in Javascript. It needs to be more explicit, has almost no method, and could not be more clunky. For example, to create the Date January 1, 2023, you have to write a new Date (2023, 0, 1), which can be confusing for beginners, and overall just not that clear. And because of these reasons, the community has made many libraries that attempt to make Date easier to work with over the past years. Like momentjs or Date-fns. But the good news is that you won't need these third-party libraries any longer. The Temporal Date API in Javascript attempts to completely replace the Date object and fix all of the issues we generally face when working with dates.

moment was put into maintenance mode in 2020 and has gained 7 million weekly downloads to 19 million/week since then.

Moment is a JavaScript date library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. It allows displaying of date as per localization and in a human-readable format.

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.

It allows users to create tasks, change their schedule and duration with drag-and-drop, add dependency lines, and review extra information on tasks via tooltips. You can add multiple timescales to the chart. The list of possible options includes Quarter Day, Half Day, Full Day, Week, and Month. There are also some customization opportunities such as changing the tooltip content with custom HTML, modifying the appearance of task bars and dependency lines, and setting the default timescale. It should be noted that Frappe Gantt has two dependencies: momentjs and snapsvg.

https://momentjs.com/ is a useful library for this exact thing.

http://timeago.yarp.com/ - says that it will only apply the 'timeago' function on time tags with a "timeago" class. Is that what you're using?

Thanks, I've tested and this works with https://timeago.yarp.com/ . General question, will this be lighter performance-wise vs using a PHP function to change datetime appearance & Low ttl on the page (This is how it was done before)?
