DateTime module
📖 Description
The DateTime module contains helper functions related to handling dates and times.
The functions in this module are primitive and probably widely available in many other open-source packages on npm. So why are they included in the Tripetto Runner library? That's because the Tripetto Runner library doesn't have any dependency on other npm packages. So all the code needed to run a Tripetto form is included and these functions are simply required. Since they are part of the package, they are exported so you can use them too. For example when building custom blocks.
