Datex - A simple user friendly date and time library

@ravi11o Did you know about timex? I did not looked deep into your library, but it’s what comes to me while reading your description. In such cases community would like to know why did you created such library (like solve problem in different way than current implementation does) and how different it’s from other implementations (for example compare it to already mentioned by me timex). It would be helpful if in your post you will add this information.

@Eiji I am aware of timex and in no way it could stand among Timex or any such date time library like calendar.
As I have already mentioned I created it while learning and thought of maybe it could help some in the community. I had no intention of flooding the forum.

Anyways, as far as I know Timex functions deal with Erlang datetime tuples, Date, NaiveDateTime, and DateTime. Datex is simply for date and time and it has no support for datetime or naive yet. Here you don’t have to worry about formats like dd-mm-yyyy or yyyy/mm/dd as you can parse any date format. For example..

> Datex.Date.format_date("2017/2/10", "MONTH_NAME_FULL DATE YYYY") 
"February 10, 2017"

OR

> Datex.Date.format_date(~D[2019-02-10], "DAY_SHORT, DATE MONTH_NAME_SHORT")
"Sun, 10 Feb"

I have also tried relative date and time comparison inspired from momentjs. Again you don’t have to worry about formats. For example..

> Datex.Date.compare("15 aug 2018", ~D[2018-08-06])
"a week and 2 days later"

> Datex.Time.compare(~T[23:16:45], "15:34:25")
"7 hours and 42 minutes later"

It also supports a lot of different formats to work with on date and time.
