unix-date-formatter is a JavaScript library designed to simplify the formatting of Unix timestamps into human-readable strings. With this library, you can easily present timestamps in a user-friendly way, such as "About 2 days ago."

To install the library using npm, run the following command:

npm install unix-date-formatter

After installing the library, you can use it to format Unix timestamps in your JavaScript or TypeScript projects. This library should work

Import the unixFormatter function from the unix-date-formatter module:

import { unixFormatter } from "unix-date-formatter/unix";

Use the unixFormatter function to format Unix timestamps into readable strings. Pass the Unix timestamp (in seconds) as an argument to the unixFormatter component:

import React from "react";
import { unixFormatter } from "unix-date-formatter/unix";

const DateFormat = () => {
    const unixTimestamp = 1675135145; // Replace with your Unix timestamp

    return (
        <p>
            Submitted: {unixFormatter(unixTimestamp)}
        </p>
    );
};

By following these steps, you can effectively format Unix timestamps and display them in a more understandable and user-friendly manner.

Assuming the unixTimestamp is provided as 1675135145, the rendered output will be:

Submitted: About 2 days ago

Import the DateFormatter class from the unix-date-formatter module:

import { DateFormatter } from "unix-date-formatter/date";

import { DateFormatter } from "unix-date-formatter/date";

// Create an instance of DateFormatter, locale is 
const dateFormatter = new DateFormatter('2024-03-11T01:31:29.938Z');

// Format date and time
const formattedDate = dateFormatter.formatDateAndTime('Australia/Sydney', 'en-AU');
const dateFormatter = dateFormatter.formatDate(); 

console.log(dateFormatter) // output will be 11 March 2024
console.log(formattedDate); // Output will be formatted date and time in en-AU locale

By following these steps, you can effectively format Unix timestamps and display them in a more understandable and user-friendly manner.

Keep in mind that the actual formatted output will depend on the current time and the specific Unix timestamp you provide.
