Cron is a JS Date formatter builder that can transform Date to String based on a provided String format.
The formatter is a function that transforms a Date object (or any string that can instantiate
a Date object) to a String that represents it. The returned String is built based on a format
String provided to Cron.
The format String can be any String the user wants. To map date/time values, the user must put
a '%' before each reserved symbol to make it parseable. The list of symbols and their meanings
is presented below:
Time
- 's': Seconds
- 'mm': Minutes
- 'h': Hours (24h)
- 'H': Hours (a.m./p.m.)
Date
- 'd': Month day
- 'D': Weekday name
- 'Da': Abbreviated weekday name (first 3 digits)
- 'm': Month (number)
- 'M': Month name
- 'Ma': Abbreviated month name (first 3 digits)
- 'y': Full year
- 'Y': Last two digits of the year
For example:
let timeParser = cron('%d/%m/%Y %h:%mm:%s')
let timeString = timeParser(new Date())
console.log(timeString); // should log something like '26/05/17 15:30:00'
