vue-moment

Handy Moment.js filters for your Vue.js project.

Installation

Either install via NPM and require plugin like so

Vue.use(require('vue-moment'));

or load vue-moment.min.js along with moment.js the old fashioned way.

Usage

Simply set moment as the filtering function and you're good to go. At least one argument is expected, which the filter assumes to be a format string if the argument doesn't match any of the other filtering methods.

<span>{{ someDate | moment "dddd, MMMM Do YYYY" }}</span>
<!-- or create a new date from 'now' -->
<span>{{ new Date() | moment "dddd, MMMM Do YYYY" }}</span>

Passing Your Date

Moment.js expects your input to be either: a valid ISO 8601 formatted string (see http://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string/), a valid Date object, or a date string with an accompanying format pattern (i.e. when you know the format of the date input). For the latter, vue-moment allows you to pass your date and format pattern(s) as an array, like such:

<span>{{ [ someDate, "MM.DD.YY" ] | moment "dddd, MMMM Do YYYY" }}</span>
<!-- or when you want to parse against more than one pattern -->
<span>{{ [ someDate, ["MM.DD.YY", "MM-DD-YY", "MM-DD-YYYY"] ] | moment "dddd, MMMM Do YYYY" }}</span>

Filtering Methods

format (default)

This is the default filtering option. Formats the date against a string of tokens. See http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/ for a list of tokens and examples.

Default

<span>{{ someDate | moment "YYYY" }}</span>
<!-- e.g. "2010" -->
<span>{{ someDate | moment "ddd, hA" }}</span>
<!-- e.g. "Sun, 3PM" -->
<span>{{ someDate | moment "dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a" }}</span>
<!-- e.g. "Sunday, February 14th 2010, 3:25:50 pm" -->

from

Display a moment in relative time, either from now or from a specified date.

Default (calculates from current time)

<span>{{ someDate | moment "from" "now" }}</span>
<!-- or shorthanded -->
<span>{{ someDate | moment "from" }}</span>

With a reference time given

<span>{{ someDate | moment "from" "Jan. 11th, 1985" }}</span>

With suffix hidden (e.g. '4 days ago' -> '4 days')

<span>{{ someDate | moment "from" "now" true }}</span>
<!-- or -->
<span>{{ someDate | moment "from" true }}</span>
<!-- or with a reference time -->
<span>{{ someDate | moment "from" "Jan. 11th, 2000" true }}</span>

For more information about moment#fromNow and moment#from, check out http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/fromnow/ and http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/from/.

calendar

Formats a date with different strings depending on how close to a certain date (today by default) the date is.

Default (calculates from current time)

<span>{{ someDate | moment "calendar" }}</span>
<!-- e.g. "Last Monday 2:30 AM" -->

With a reference time given

<span>{{ someDate | moment "calendar" "July 10 2011" }}</span>
<!-- e.g. "7/10/2011" -->

For more information about moment#calendar, check out http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/calendar-time/.

add

Mutates the original moment by adding time.

<span>{{ someDate | moment "add" "7 days" }}</span>
<!-- or with multiple keys -->
<span>{{ someDate | moment "add" "1 year, 3 months, 30 weeks, 10 days" }}</span>

For more information about moment#add, check out http://momentjs.com/docs/#/manipulating/add/.

subtract

Works the same as add, but mutates the original moment by subtracting time.

<span>{{ someDate | moment "subtract" "3 hours" }}</span>

For more information about moment#subtract, check out http://momentjs.com/docs/#/manipulating/subtract/.

Chaining

There's some built-in (and not thoroughly tested) support for chaining, like so:

<span>{{ someDate | moment "add" "2 years, 8 days" "subtract" "3 hours" "ddd, hA" }}</span>

This would add 2 years and 8 months to the date, then subtract 3 hours, then format the resulting date.

Configuration

vue-moment should respect any global Moment customizations, including i18n locales. For more info, check out http://momentjs.com/docs/#/customization/.
