A lightweight Node.js utility for generating formatted timestamps with customizable patterns.
What is time-stamp?
Time-stamp is a Node.js utility library that generates formatted timestamps for use in logging, file naming, or any application requiring date/time strings. It solves the problem of manually formatting dates by providing a simple pattern-based API that outputs consistent timestamp strings. The library supports both local and UTC time, with tokens for year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.
