Install via yarn add locutus and import:
import { getdate } from 'locutus/php/datetime/getdate'.
Or with CommonJS: const { getdate } = require('locutus/php/datetime/getdate')
Use a bundler that supports tree-shaking so you only ship the functions you actually use.
Vite,
webpack,
Rollup, and
Parcel
all handle this. For server-side use this is less of a concern.
Examples
These examples are extracted from test cases that automatically verify our functions against their native counterparts.
Here's what our current TypeScript equivalent to PHP's getdate looks like.
typeGetDateResult = { seconds: number minutes: number hours: number mday: number wday: number mon: number year: number yday: number weekday: string month: string '0': number }
Locutus is a community effort following
The McDonald's Theory:
we ship first iterations, hoping others will improve them.
If you see something that could be better, we'd love your contribution.
