I need to get the month index number from the month name using the date-fns library. Earlier I was using moment.js, it was straightforward with moment.js
moment().month('March').format('M');
// Month name will be variable and I don't want to use static dictionary to get index number
How to achieve the same using the date-fns library? I thought to use format(date, 'M'); but it needs complete date and only month name is available.
Please suggest. Thanks!
I think this is what you need
If you are using date-fns library
function getMonthCount(month){
const result = getMonth(new Date(`${month} 1`))+1;
}
If you don't want to use any library
function getMonthCount(month){
const sometime= new Date(`${month} 1`);
console.log(sometime.getMonth()+1);
}
NOTE: this will return month in range [1,12]
date-fns comes with handy functions out of the box
import {getMonth} from 'date-fns'
const date = new Date()
const month = getMonth(date) + 1
getMonth returns a number, you add +1 because it starts with 0. The result you'll get is the number of the month. If let's say the month is March, you'll get 3
