Date Time Formatters

This is a set of binding handlers built on top of Moment.js library, providing human readable date and time in different manners.

Adding new formats

By default datetime bindings are registered with default options.
To customize, re-register with custom options possibly with other name too.

New handler formats can be created by creating new instance of one of:

  • Maslosoft.Binder.DateFormatter
  • Maslosoft.Binder.DateTimeFormatter
  • Maslosoft.Binder.TimeFormatter
  • Maslosoft.Binder.TimeAgoFormatter
Passing different parameters to constructor, and registering it via Maslosoft.Binder.register.

		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<th>Date time:</th>
		<td>
			<span data-bind="dateTimeFormatter: binder.model.DateTime.date"></span>
