Comparison with MomentJs

date-fns vs moment

  • Problems with Moment.js:
    • It is highly based on OOP APIs, which makes it fail to work with tree-shaking, thus leading to a huge bundle size and performance issues.
    • It is mutable and it causes bugs
    • Complex OOP API (which doubles mutability problem)
  • Advantages of date-fns
    • Function per file
      • Date-fns library consists of a variety of functions, and it allows you to import these functions individually as needed, which reduces the applications package size drastically
    • Immutable
      • Provide a new JavaScript date object instance from each function
    • Fast and Compact
