Handle dates with Javascript (moment.js)

Introduction

This is Qiita's first post. If you find something wrong, I would appreciate it if you could point it out.

Development environment

ruby 2.6.5 Rails 6.0.3.3

Overview

moment.js is a convenient library for handling dates with javascript. It is said that there are drawbacks in terms of package management, but I tried using it because it is still the mainstream technology.

how to use

Install moment.js in the directory you are working on

npm install moment

Load moment with the js file you want to use

〇〇.js

var moment = require(“moment”);

↓ You can generate it in this way

〇〇.js

const dt = new moment();

However, this alone will get stuck in rails s. ↓ You will probably need to reinstall yarn.

error Lockfile does not contain pattern: "moment@^2.29.1"                                                                                                              
error Found 1 errors.                                                                                                                                                  


========================================
  Your Yarn packages are out of date!
  Please run `yarn install --check-files` to update.
========================================


To disable this check, please change `check_yarn_integrity`
to `false` in your webpacker config file (config/webpacker.yml).

check_yarn_integrity is False by default I'll just run yarn install --check-files

yarn install --check-files

I was able to use it without problems

Finally

moment.js is a legacy technology and may not be used much in the future. It is said that day.js is lighter and is upward compatible in terms of management, Since I may be active in active duty, I tried using it on a trial basis.
