|
|
[](http://travis-ci.org/JerrySievert/date-utils)
|
|
## NOTE
|
|
Version 2 Feature and Changes discussion is being held at https://github.com/JerrySievert/node-date-utils/issues/37
|
|
## In a nutshell
|
|
- Micro-Framework adding missing functionality to the Date object
|
- Useable as a polyfill in the browser
|
- Useable as a polyfill in Node.js
|
- Works in CouchDB
|
|
## Using within a Browser
|
<script type="text/javascript" src="date-utils.min.js"></script>
|
|
## Using with Node.js
|
$ npm install date-utils
|
|
require('date-utils');
|
|
Note: This did not work in the `REPL` before `Node.js 0.6` due to how `Node.js` handles context in the `REPL`.
|
|
## Changing Languages
|
require('date-utils').language("es")
|
|
Supported languages:
|
|
- Spanish - "es"
|
- French - "fr"
|
- Portuguese Brazilian - "pt-BR"

## Documentation

|
## Development
|
|
Make sure you have [gulp](https://www.npmjs.org/package/gulp) installed (npm install gulp -g). After that hit `npm install` to get the dependencies. Finally, hit `gulp`. This will build the library initially. If you make changes to the library, it will compile the minified version automatically.
|
|
### Testing
|
|
```
|
$ npm test
|
```
|
|
### Complexity and Minification
|
|
```
|
$ gulp
|
```
|
