About

Popular javascript date libraries like moment or date-utils are wrappers around the native javascript Date object, providing syntactic sugar. The native Date object always consist of a date, time and a timezone part. In opposite to that, js-joda is a standalone date and time implementation.

Getting started

Node

Install joda using npm

npm install js-joda

Then require it to any module

var LocalDate = require('js-joda').LocalDate;

var d = LocalDate.parse('2012-12-24').atStartOfDay().plusMonths(2); // 2013-02-24T00:00:00

Browser

To use js-joda from a browser, download either dist/js-joda.min.js or dist/js-joda.js (with sourcemaps for development)

Then add it as a script tag to your page

<script src="js-joda.min.js"></script>
<script>
    var LocalDate = JSJoda.LocalDate;
    var d = LocalDate.parse('2012-12-24').atStartOfDay().plusMonths(2); // 2013-02-24T00:00:00
</script>
