API Reference

Instead of modifying the native Date.prototype, Day.js creates a wrapper for the Date object, called Dayjs object.

The Dayjs object is immutable, that is, all API operations that change the Dayjs object in some way will return a new instance of it.

Parsing

Constructor dayjs(existing?: string | number | Date | Dayjs)

Calling it without parameters returns a fresh Dayjs object with the current date and time.

dayjs();

Day.js also parses other date formats.

ISO 8601 string

dayjs("2018-04-04T16:00:00.000Z");

Native Javascript Date object

dayjs(new Date(2018, 8, 18));

Unix Timestamp (milliseconds)

Returns a Dayjs from a Unix timestamp (milliseconds since the Unix Epoch)

dayjs(1318781876406);

Unix Timestamp (seconds) .unix(value: number)

Returns a Dayjs from a Unix timestamp (seconds since the Unix Epoch)

dayjs.unix(1318781876);
dayjs.unix(1318781876.721);

Custom Parse Format

Clone .clone() | dayjs(original: Dayjs)

Returns a cloned Dayjs.

dayjs().clone();
dayjs(dayjs("2019-01-25")); // passing a Dayjs object to a constructor will also clone it

Validation .isValid()

Returns a boolean indicating whether the Dayjs's date is valid.

dayjs().isValid();

Get and Set

Year .year()

Returns a number representing the Dayjs's year.

dayjs().year();

Month .month()

Returns a number representing the Dayjs's month. Starts at 0

dayjs().month();

Day of the Month .date()

Returns a number representing the Dayjs's day of the month. Starts at 1

dayjs().date();

Day of the Week .day()

Returns a number representing the Dayjs's day of the week. Starts on Sunday with 0

dayjs().day();

Hour .hour()

Returns a number representing the Dayjs's hour.

dayjs().hour();

Minute .minute()

Returns a number representing the Dayjs's minute.

dayjs().minute();

Second .second()

Returns a number representing the Dayjs's second.

dayjs().second();

Millisecond .millisecond()

Returns a number representing the Dayjs's millisecond.

dayjs().millisecond();

Set .set(unit: string, value: number)

Returns a Dayjs with the applied changes.

dayjs().set("date", 1);
dayjs().set("month", 3); // April
dayjs().set("second", 30);

List of all available units

Unit Shorthand Description
date Date of Month
day d Day of Week (Sunday as 0, Saturday as 6)
month M Month
year y Year
hour h Hour
minute m Minute
second s Second
millisecond ms Millisecond

Manipulating

Dayjs objects can be manipulated in many ways.

dayjs("2019-01-25")
  .add(1, "day")
  .subtract(1, "year")
  .toString(); // Fri, 26 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT

Add .add(value: number, unit: string)

Returns a cloned Dayjs with a specified amount of time added.

dayjs().add(7, "day");

Subtract .subtract(value: number, unit: string)

Returns a cloned Dayjs with a specified amount of time subtracted.

dayjs().subtract(7, "year");

Start of Time .startOf(unit: string)

Returns a cloned Dayjs set to the start of the specified unit of time.

dayjs().startOf("week"); // Depends on `weekStart` in locale

End of Time .endOf(unit: string)

Returns a cloned Dayjs set to the end of the specified unit of time.

dayjs().endOf("month");

Displaying

Format .format(stringWithTokens: string)

Returns a string with the Dayjs's formatted date. To escape characters, wrap them in square or curly brackets (e.g. [G] {um}).

dayjs().format(); // current date in ISO6801, without fraction seconds e.g. '2020-04-02T08:02:17-05:00'

dayjs("2019-01-25").format("{YYYY} MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ[Z]"); // '{2019} 01-25T00:00:00-02:00Z'

dayjs("2019-01-25").format("DD/MM/YYYY"); // '25/01/2019'

const date2 = dayjs("2018-06-05");
date1.diff(date2); // 20214000000
date1.diff(date2, "month"); // 7

Query

Is Before .isBefore(compared: Dayjs, unit?: string)

Is Same .isSame(compared: Dayjs, unit?: string)

Returns a boolean indicating whether the Dayjs's date is the same as the other supplied Dayjs's.

dayjs().isSame(dayjs()); // true

Returns a boolean indicating whether the Dayjs's date is after the other supplied Dayjs's.
