phpdate
v1.0.0 date formatting time
phpdate 
date ported to javascript.
why
php's date function is pretty nice for formatting dates. since a lot of php developers use it, it would be nice if it can be used in javascript as well!
install
npm install --save phpdate
usage
// TZ is America/Los_Angeles (DST)
'use strict'
const { date, gmdate } = require('phpdate')
console.log(date('Y-m-d H:i:s')) // => 2016-02-27 17:23:50
console.log(gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s')) // => 2016-02-28 02:23:50
api
their are a few differences from php's implementation.
date(format[, date])
format is the output format of the date. date can be an instance of javascript's Date object. this differs from php, because php's date function takes an integer to specify the time to format.
gmdate(format[, date])
identical to date, but will always use UTC/GMT for the time zone
