A Moment about MomentJS

What is MomentJS?

MomentJS is a JavaScript package that makes it simple to parse, validate, manipulate, and display date/time in JavaScript. MomentJS allows you to display dates in a human-readable format based on location.

Features of Moment.js:

  • Parsing: You can parse the date into the desired format using parsing. Date parsing is possible in the string, object, and array formats. It allows you to clone a moment with the help of moment.clone().
  • Manipulation: We can manipulate the Date and Time on the moment object using inbuilt methods provided by Moment.js.
  • Date Validation: We can perform date validation using the isValid() method provided by Moment.js. It also has various parsing flags to validate dates.
  • Date Queries: It has various built-in methods to check if the date is greater than or less than the input provided.
  • Duration: It is one of the essential features that handles the time length for the given units.
  • Display: It provides us with different formats to display data in different ways like JSON, array, object, etc.
