Sometimes all you need is just a simple date formatting without all of those super powers.
Name is a play from [tempus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempus), Latin word meaning time and [tempe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempeh) an Indonesian traditional food.
## 📦 Install
```
$ yarn add tempe
or
$ npm install tempe --save
```
## 💻 Usage
Use the default export, pass existing date object or you can initialize it like normal Javascript Date object.
```js
import tempe from 'tempe';
// use tempe as Date initializer
tempe(2020, 0, 13).format('dd, DD MMM YYYY'); // "Monday, 13 Jan 2020"
// pass existing Date object to tempe
tempe(new Date(2020, 0, 13)).format('dd, DD MMM YYYY'); // "Monday, 13 Jan 2020"
// time formatting
tempe(2020, 2, 25, 23, 59).format('DD MMMM YYYY hh:mm:ss'); // "25 March 2020 23:59:00"
tempe(2020, 2, 25, 23, 59).format('H at DD/MM/YYYY'); // "11 PM at 25/03/2020"
```
## 🌐 i18n
Tempe supports internationalization by specifying the locale while formatting
```js
import tempe from 'tempe';
tempe(2020, 5, 13).format('DD MMM YYYY', 'ja'); // "13日 6月 2020年"
tempe(2020, 5, 13).format('DD MMM YYYY', 'vi'); // "13 Tháng 6 2020"
tempe(2020, 5, 13).format('DD MMM YYYY', 'id'); // "13 Juni 2020"
```
### Calendar Types
Meanwhile, some locale have their own default calendar type. For example, if you're using a Thailand locale it will generate a Buddhist calendar that show a different year than standard gregorian calendar.
```js
tempe(2020, 5, 13).format('DD MMM YYYY', 'th'); // 13 มิถุนายน พ.ศ. 2563
```
You can change it by providing the calendar type in the third optional parameter of `format()` function.
```js
// change calendar type to gregorian
tempe(2020, 5, 13).format('DD MMM YYYY', 'th', 'gregory' ); // 13 มิถุนายน พ.ศ. 2020
// change calendar type to islamic
tempe(2020, 5, 13).format('DD MMM YYYY', 'id', 'islamic' ); // 22 Syawal 1441 H
```
Possible values for this parameter includes:
- `"buddhist"`
- `"chinese"`
- `"coptic"`
- `"ethiopia"`
- `"ethiopic"`
- `"gregory"`
- `"hebrew"`
- `"indian"`
- `"islamic"`
- `"iso8601"`
- `"japanese"`
- `"persian"`
- `"roc"`
This is an optional parameter. By leaving this parameter empty, the date will be generated using the default type of provided locale.
