javascript implementation of java.util.calendar api

Question

Is there a javascript equivalent implementation of java.util.Calendar API? It will be quite handy to do date manipulation with it around.

Answer 1

Though not exact http://momentjs.com/ is much better in many ways ! I would go for this if given a choice.

Formatting dates

moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a');
moment().format('dddd');
moment().format("MMM Do YY");
moment().format('YYYY [escaped] YYYY');
moment().format();

Sunday
Sep 23rd 12
2012 escaped 2012
2012-09-23T01:29:09+01:00

Timeago

moment("20111031", "YYYYMMDD").fromNow();
moment("20120620", "YYYYMMDD").fromNow();
moment().startOf('day').fromNow();
moment().endOf('day').fromNow();
moment().startOf('hour').fromNow();

11 months ago
3 months ago
an hour ago
in a day
28 minutes ago

Calendar Time

moment().subtract('days', 10).calendar();
moment().subtract('days', 6).calendar();
moment().subtract('days', 3).calendar();
moment().subtract('days', 1).calendar();
moment().calendar();
moment().add('days', 1).calendar();
moment().add('days', 3).calendar();
moment().add('days', 10).calendar();

Internationalization

moment().format('LL');
moment().format('LLL');
moment().format('LLLL');
