Moment.js doesn't support treeshaking and therefore is rather huge in terms of size.
I would rather recommend date.fns or just the native date library. Which is more capable than many expect
Ref: github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-...
Agreed date.fns seems to be more popular these days too.
You could link the respective github repo in the article!
To manipulate strings and other types I also created a library which has many more features over voca: github.com/MZanggl/flooent
no love for rxjs
