Replaced moment.js with date-fns to reduce bundle size #1098

moment.js is great but it is huge and not tree shakable. I replaced it with only the required functions from the smaller date-fns and by that reduced date utility library size from 18.2K gzipped (moment.min.js) to 7K gzipped (used add, format and isBefore functions)

Wouldn't dayjs be better? Should be pretty compatible with moment https://www.npmjs.com/package/dayjs Unpacked Size 623 kB
