@shopify/dates

Lightweight date operations library.

Installation

$ yarn add @shopify/dates

Usage

This library exports helpers that allow apps to easily work with dates and timezones. Optional time zone parameters that are omitted are inferred as local.

applyTimeZoneOffset

Takes in a date object and two optional time zone string parameters. Returns a new date object with the offset between the time zones added to it.

import {applyTimeZoneOffset} from '@shopify/dates';

const date = new Date('2018-06-01Z14:00');
const timeZone1 = 'Australia/Perth';
const timeZone2 = 'America/Toronto';

const newDate = applyTimeZoneOffset(date, timeZone1, timeZone2);

getDateTimeParts

Takes in a date object and an optional time zone string parameter. Returns an object with functions to get the year, month, day, weekday, hour, minute and second of the provided date.

import {getDateTimeParts} from '@shopify/dates';

const date = new Date('2018-06-01Z14:00');
const timeZone = 'Australia/Perth';

const dateTimeParts = getDateTimeParts(date, timeZone);

const year = dateTimeParts.year();
const month = dateTimeParts.month();
const day = dateTimeParts.day();
const weekday = dateTimeParts.weekday();
const hour = dateTimeParts.hour();
const minute = dateTimeParts.minute();
const second = dateTimeParts.second();

getTimeZoneOffset

Takes in a date object and two optional time zone string parameters. Returns a number representing the offset between the two provided time zones in minutes.

import {getTimeZoneOffset} from '@shopify/dates';

const date = new Date('2018-06-01Z14:00');
const timeZone1 = 'America/Toronto';
const timeZone2 = 'Australia/Perth';

const timeZoneOffset = getTimeZoneOffset(date, timeZone1, timeZone2);

isSameDay

Takes in two date objects and an optional time zone string parameter. Returns a boolean indicating whether or not these two dates are in the same day.

import {isSameDay} from '@shopify/dates';

const date1 = '2018-01-01Z00:00';
const date2 = '2018-01-02Z23:59';
const timeZone = 'America/Toronto';

const sameDay = isSameDay(date1, date2, timeZone);

isSameMonth

Takes in two date objects and an optional time zone string parameter. Returns a boolean indicating whether or not these two dates are in the same month.

import {isSameMonth} from '@shopify/dates';

const date1 = '2018-01-01Z00:00';
const date2 = '2018-01-02Z23:59';
const timeZone = 'America/Toronto';

const sameMonth = isSameMonth(date1, date2, timeZone);

isSameYear

Takes in two date objects and an optional time zone string parameter. Returns a boolean indicating whether or not these two dates are in the same year.

import {isSameYear} from '@shopify/dates';

const date1 = '2018-01-01Z00:00';
const date2 = '2018-01-02Z23:59';
const timeZone = 'America/Toronto';

const sameYear = isSameYear(date1, date2, timeZone);

isToday

Takes in a date object and an optional time zone string parameter. Returns a boolean indicating whether or not this date is today.

import {isToday} from '@shopify/dates';

const date = '2018-01-01Z00:00';
const timeZone = 'America/Toronto';

const today = isToday(date, timeZone);

isTomorrow

Takes in a date object and an optional time zone string parameter. Returns a boolean indicating whether or not this date is tomorrow.

import {isTomorrow} from '@shopify/dates';

const date = '2018-01-01Z00:00';
const timeZone = 'America/Toronto';

const tomorrow = isTomorrow(date, timeZone);

isYesterday

Takes in a date object and an optional time zone string parameter. Returns a boolean indicating whether or not this date is yesterday.

import {isYesterday} from '@shopify/dates';

const date = '2018-01-01Z00:00';
const timeZone = 'America/Toronto';

const yesterday = isYesterday(date, timeZone);

mapDeprecatedTimezones

Takes in a time zone string parameter. Returns a time zone string corresponding to the equivalent, non-deprecated time zone string.

import {mapDeprecatedTimezones} from '@shopify/dates';

const deprecatedTimeZone = 'Cuba';
const correctTimeZone = mapDeprecatedTimezones(deprecatedTimeZone); // In this case, returns 'America/Havana'

parseDateString

Takes in a date string and an optional time zone string parameter. Returns a date object with the format '2018-05-28T12:30:00+00:00' (yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss+00:00, where '+00:00' represents the time zone offset)

import {parseDateString} from '@shopify/dates';

const date = '2018-01-01Z00:00';
const timeZone = 'UTC';

const parsed = parseDateString(date, timeZone);

unapplyTimeZoneOffset

Takes in a date object and two optional time zone string parameters. Returns a new date object with the offset between the time zones subtracted from it.

import {unapplyTimeZoneOffset} from '@shopify/dates';

const date = new Date('2018-06-01Z14:00');
const timeZone = 'Australia/Perth';

const newDate = unapplyTimeZoneOffset(date, offset);
