Any plan to replace "request" and "moment"?

@sdetweil said in Any plan to replace "request" and "moment"?:

what day of the week is 1/1, subtract that from 7, and then that is the start of the weekly cycle.

ISOWeek is easy. Conventional week is the problem.

For example, in the United States, Sunday is the first day of the week. The week with January 1st in it is the first week of the year.

In France, Monday is the first day of the week, and the week with January 4th is the first week of the year. It means January 1st could be the last week of the last year sometimes. And Jan. 10th could be the first week in certain year.

And in other countries, there is also their own rule.

This might be important in some European countries, because they use week number in real life (“my vacation ends 23. Weeks“)

@mmrize I care about safari. 😢😢😢

Once (yesterday), I’ve tried to rewrite clock module and calendar module
without momentjs or any other 3rd party library, only with Date and Intl.

The start was not so bad. I could rewrite many features with only Date and Intl.
Where I stuck was the showWeek config feature. It has to show the ordinal number of weeks of the year. To calculate ISOweek is not difficult. But in some areas, like the US. they never use the ISO system. damn!. To calculate the conventional US week number, additional pieces of information are needed. (read this.) Current Intl has not yet that feature. I’m waiting for Temporal and enhanced Intl releasing.

Where I’m getting stuck with Luxon is basic comparision of dates:

Is this time the same or before that time? 
Moment: m1.isSameOrBefore(m2) (works) 
Luxon:  dt1 <= dt2 (Crashes jsfiddle)

and querying luxon for the locale’s weekday strings is always returning Monday as first, even though it will treat the week correctly otherwise.

luxon.info.weekdays('short') == Mon

Moment handles this automatically. Everyone else, not so much.

@bkeyport many do, and you are not alone.
But how many people are running MM in a safari browser?

I guess this is the relevant point here :)

BKeyport

@0m4r When I’m testing something, I’ll load it up on my local machine, which is a Mac, and yes, I use Safari. :)

@bkeyport same for me, even tho I am aware like 99% of MM users are running it out of a raspberry pi with a Chromium browser.
That is the reason I say the main focus could be on Chromium-based browsers rather than others.

I’m using Brave which is Chrome based without all the tracking and such ;)

0m4r

@cowboysdude technically it is based on Chromium (https://www.chromium.org/).

@bkeyport I wouldn’t worry about it. Moment will be around for a while. Easy to use and yes you can add it to your own package json file and still use it.

Request…not so much LOL
