Readme

Date Guesser ================== The default javascript Date.parse('Aug 9, 1995') is quite decent, but gives up too soon. The following are all invalid dates or parsed wrong: ``` new Date(Date.parse('19/8/1995')); new Date(Date.parse('2th Sept 2010')); new Date(Date.parse('Okt 2014')); // Gives Jan 01 2014 ``` To parse a date is no easy feat, given timezones and different formatting styles. This script looks for patterns in a string to guess the date a little better with European formats.

Usage

You can install it with npm: ``` npm install dateguesser ``` ```javascript var guess = require('dateguesser'); console.log(guess.parse("20-01-1998")) //Tue Jan 20 1998 12:00:00 GMT+0100 (W. Europe Standard Time) console.log(guess.parse("1 sept. 2004")) //Wed Sep 01 2004 12:00:00 GMT+0200 (W. Europe Daylight Time) console.log(guess.parse("June, 25th 2005")) //Sat Jun 25 2005 12:00:00 GMT+0200 (W. Europe Daylight Time) console.log(guess.parse("Aug. 2005")) //Mon Aug 01 2005 12:00:00 GMT+0200 (W. Europe Daylight Time) ```
