How are timezones handled in version 4?

Version 4 uses the @date-fns/tz package and the TZDate class, which allows for timezone-aware date operations without the overhead of older libraries.

Does it support internationalization (i18n)?

Yes, it includes patterns for locale-aware formatting shortcuts (P, PP, PPP) that automatically adapt date formats to the user's region.

How does this skill help with bundle size optimization?

The skill enforces modular imports (e.g., importing { format } from 'date-fns') rather than the entire library, allowing modern bundlers to tree-shake unused code.

Why use date-fns over the native Date object?

Native Date objects are mutable and their string parsing is inconsistent across browsers. date-fns provides pure, predictable functions and reliable parsing via parseISO.

개발자 도구

Implements high-performance, tree-shakeable date manipulation and formatting patterns using date-fns for TypeScript applications.

This skill provides specialized guidance for using date-fns, a modular and functional date utility library, within TypeScript environments. It enforces best practices such as safe parsing with parseISO, immutable date arithmetic, and locale-aware formatting while preventing common anti-patterns like manual date mutation or browser-inconsistent date constructors. By focusing on tree-shaking and pure functions, it helps developers build performant, bug-free date logic for web applications, including complex timezone handling with v4 TZDate and internationalization support.
