Date handling:

Choosing the Right Date Handling Library for Your React Project

There are several libraries available for data handling, but we recommend Date-fns.

Date-fns: A modern library that provides a wide range of pure functions for manipulating JavaScript dates. It’s lighter than Moment.js and offers an immutable API, which can help prevent bugs.

Pros & Cons

Date-fns

Pros:

  • Lightweight: Significantly smaller than Moment.js since you import only the functions you need.
  • Immutable: The functions don’t change the objects they’re given, which aids in the predictability of your code.

Cons

  • Syntax: Some developers do not prefer its syntax compared to chain-able syntax provided by libraries like Moment.js or Day.js.
