How can i make it nicer?
var month = new Array();
month['01']='Jan';
month['02']='Feb';
month['03']='Mar';
etc. Itd be nice to do it like:
var months = new Array(['01','Jan'],['02','Feb'],['03','Mar']);
For example. anyway like that to simplify it?
Here's a dynamic solution that does not require hard-coding an array of months:
const month = f=>Array.from(Array(12),(e,i)=>new Date(25e8*++i).toLocaleString('en-US',{month:f}));
Test Cases:
// Using Number Index:
month`long`[0]; // January
month`long`[1]; // February
month`long`[2]; // March
month`short`[0]; // Jan
month`short`[1]; // Feb
month`short`[2]; // Mar
month`narrow`[0]; // J
month`narrow`[1]; // F
month`narrow`[2]; // M
month`numeric`[0]; // 1
month`numeric`[1]; // 2
month`numeric`[2]; // 3
month`2-digit`[0]; // 01
month`2-digit`[1]; // 02
month`2-digit`[2]; // 03
// Using String Index:
let index_string = '01';
month`long`[index_string-1]; // January
month`short`[index_string-1]; // Jan
month`narrow`[index_string-1]; // J
month`numeric`[index_string-1]; // 1
month`2-digit`[index_string-1]; // 01
You can use nice library https://github.com/pret-a-porter/month-list
getMonthList('en', 'short') for short names ["Jan", "Feb", ...]getMonthList('en', '2-digit') for numeric strings ["01", "02", ...]Months in javascript for faster access O(1)
const months = { "01": "Jan", "02": "Feb", "03": "Mar", "04": "Apr", "05": "May", "06": "Jun", "07": "Jul", "08": "Aug", "09": "Sep", "10": "Oct",
"11": "Nov",
"12": "Dec", };
