Expand a date into all the various representations of its constituent components, like 4-digit year, 2-digit year, month, two-digit month and so on. All strftime formats are included, and more. Use when you need serialized dates in logic-less templates.

Install with npm install date-expand.

Usage:

var expandDate = require('date-expand');
var date = new Date()
console.log(expandDate(date));

Or monkey-patch instead:

Object.defineProperty(Date.prototype, 'expand', {value: require('date-expand')});
var date = new Date()
console.log(date.expand());

Both will return an object containing various ways of representing that date:
