Measure justification

With momentjs: (294,9kb)

• carbon: 60
• water: 34
• energy: 69
• performance: 86
• carbon (kt co2): 307
• water (hm3): 29,9
• energy (gwh): 469

With datefns: (75,9kb)

• carbon: 60
• water: 34
• energy: 69
• performance: 84
• carbon (kt co2): 307
• water (hm3): 29,9
• energy (gwh): 469

With luxon: (78,1kb)

• carbon: 61
• water: 34
• energy: 69
• performance: 85
• carbon (kt co2): 306
• water (hm3): 29,9
• energy (gwh): 468

This rule has an environmental impact. When we load a heavier library, in this case momentjs, which is over 4 times heavier than datefns or luxon, this has an environmental impact. Users have to download more data. In our case, using a heavier library is not justified, as we're only looking to manipulate dates ...

Validation

We validate this rule 75%, but it would be relevant to carry out measurements with other tools.
