Consider Moment.js for time handling #3

http://momentjs.com/

npm install moment

Then in your code:

var moment = require("moment");

Next you can do all the stuff in the doc!

Would help you with everything "Date" and "Time" :)

Sounds good, but I'd like to have as little dependencies as possible, to ease implementation. I will however consider it. Thanks!

If you have a time, such as .addField("Time:", message.createdAt);, how would you implement Moment into it? Something like .addField("Time:", moment().createdAt);? Thanks in advance.

I know that the post is 2 years old but my intention is to help anyone facing the same issue. Let's use this as an example, you want to change the format of the variable "guild.createdAt" in an embed:

.addField("Creation Date:", guild.createdAt);

You would change it to:

.addField("Creation Date:", moment(guild.createdAt).format('PUT YOUR FORMAT HERE'));

Example:

.addField("Creation Date:", moment(guild.createdAt).format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a'));

So overall, this is how it is used:

moment(YOUR DATE/TIME VARIABLE).format('FORMAT');

Note: you can find a simple guide for Moment date/time formats here => https://www.codegrepper.com/code-examples/r/discord.js+moment+date

Considering that this comment is quite old, this will not work for lower versions, only discord js v12.
