Date and Time Handling

When to use this skill

  • Displaying departure/arrival times.
  • Calculating trip duration.
  • Saving booking dates to Appwrite.

Standard Practices

  • Storage: Always save dates as ISO 8601 Strings in UTC.
  • Display: Use the user's local time or a fixed PKT (Pakistan Standard Time) if the tour is localized.
  • Library: Use
    date-fns
    for complex math (e.g.,
    addDays
    ,
    differenceInDays
    ).

Example (Date-fns)

import { format, parseISO } from 'date-fns';

export const formatTourDate = (isoString: string) => {
    const date = parseISO(isoString);
    return format(date, 'MMM dd, yyyy'); // e.g., "Jan 15, 2026"
};

Instructions

  • Input: Use
    <input type="date">
    or a custom calendar component (see
    managing-date-selection
    ).
  • Validation: Ensure end date is not before start date.
