Dubium works both in the browser and with node.

For browser use, either host the dubium.js file yourself (By downloading the current release here) or use a CDN (and, yes, it's free):

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/dubium@0.0.14/dist/dubium.min.js"></script>

As for NodeJS, it can be included like so:

const dubium = require("dubium");

Example

// In this example, if the date is not passed in, we'll pretend it's currently
// Febuary 1, 1970 19:30:00 UTC.

// .format returns the current date and/or time in a formatted manor
dubium.format("DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss") // 01/02/1970 19:30:00
dubium.format("MM/DD/YYYY H:mm:ss a") // 02/01/1970 7:30:00 pm
dubium.format("DD/MMM/YY H:mm:ss A") // 01/Mar/70 7:30:00 PM
dubium.format("DD/MMMM/YY H:mm:ss A") // 01/March/70 7:30:00 PM

// You can also pass in a date to format:
dubium.format("DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss", 1554159037369); // 01/04/2019 23:50:37
dubium.format("DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss", "Fri, 02 Feb 1996 03:04:05 GMT"); // 02/02/1996 03:04:05

// You may unformat a string to get the epoch integer:
dubium.unformat("01/March/70 7:30:00 PM", "DD/MMMM/YY H:mm:ss A"); // 3163604400000

// You can get all the day value from a range of dates (inclusive of the ones being passed in)...
dubium.daysInRange(1554160761053, 1554333561053) // Array(3) [ 1554160761053, 1554247161053, 1554333561053 ]

// You can also get the range of the start of the week and end
dubium.getWeekRange() //Array [ 1554073200000, 1554677999999 ]
// Obviously you can pass an epoch value, too, if you want:
dubium.getWeekRange(3163604400000); // Array [ 3163446000000, 3161375999999 ]

// And, yeah, that's pretty much it... 
// These functions will be improved and added upon soon, too.
