Functions

isoDate(str):

Convert an ISO 8601 date (YYYY-MM-DD) to a Date object.

isoTimestamp(str):

Convert a subset of ISO 8601 [1] timestamps (or something close to it) to a Date object. Will accept the "de facto" form:

YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss

or (the proper form):

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss

toISOTime(date):

Get the hh:mm:ss from the given Date object as a string.

toISOTimestamp(date, realISO):

Convert a Date object to something that's ALMOST but not quite an ISO 8601 [1]_timestamp. If it was a proper ISO timestamp it would be:

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss

However, we see junk in SQL and other places that looks like this:

YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss

So, this function returns the latter form, despite its name, unless you pass true for realISO.

toISODate(date):

Convert a Date object to an ISO 8601 [1] date string (YYYY-MM-DD)

americanDate(d):

Converts a MM/DD/YYYY date to a Date object

toPaddedAmericanDate(d):

Converts a Date object to an MM/DD/YYYY date, e.g. 01/01/2001

toAmericanDate(d):

Converts a Date object to an M/D/YYYY date, e.g. 1/1/2001
