thisTemporal

thisTemporal is a JavaScript library designed to simplify date and time manipulation. It provides a modern and immutable approach to working with dates, offering a more intuitive API compared to the native JavaScript Date object. The library aims to address common pain points associated with date handling, such as time zone conversions, date formatting, and performing arithmetic operations on dates.

Key features of thisTemporal include immutability, meaning that once a date object is created, its value cannot be changed. Instead, operations that modify a date return a new date object. This helps prevent unintended side effects and makes code easier to reason about. The library also offers robust support for time zones, allowing developers to accurately represent and convert dates across different regions. It provides a clear distinction between date and time components, enabling precise manipulation of specific parts of a date.

thisTemporal supports a wide range of date and time units, from milliseconds to years, and offers methods for adding, subtracting, comparing, and formatting these units. It also includes features for parsing date strings and creating dates from various inputs. The library's design prioritizes clarity and developer experience, making it a valuable tool for applications that require accurate and flexible date and time management. It is often considered a more capable and user-friendly alternative to libraries like Moment.js.
