Create a DateUtils utility library to simplify common date-related operations and improve date handling within the application.
Motivation
Handling dates and date-related operations in JavaScript can be error-prone and cumbersome. Having a dedicated DateUtils utility will improve code readability, reusability, and maintainability by centralizing date-related functions in one place.
Details
Utility Functions
The DateUtils utility should provide a range of commonly used date functions, including but not limited to:
Formatting: Functions to format dates in various formats (e.g., ISO 8601, custom formats).
Parsing: Functions to parse date strings into Date objects.
Comparison: Functions to compare dates (e.g., compare if one date is greater than another).
Manipulation: Functions to add/subtract days, months, or years from a given date.
Validation: Functions to validate if a given input is a valid date.
Timezone Handling: Functions to handle timezones and convert between timezones.
Error Handling: The utility should include appropriate error handling to deal with invalid input or edge cases gracefully.
Documentation
Comprehensive documentation should be provided for each utility function, explaining its purpose, usage, parameters, and return values.
Expected Behavior
Developers should be able to easily integrate the DateUtils utility into their projects, simplifying date-related operations and improving code quality.
