JavaScript for entering date based on value in an HTML text box

Question

Is there a library for entering text values in an HTML text box which are then converted into a date? For example, typing "Next Monday" puts next Monday's date in, "Next month" puts today's date + 1 month, "+4" puts today's date + 4 days, etc.

Answer 1

You might want to consider moment.js , which solves this sort of problem.

For natural language date-parsing, check out chrono.js .

chrono.parseDate(document.getElementById("my-input").value)

For an input value of "next week" , this will return today's date plus seven days, in a Date type.
