Tempo The Professional Date-Time Library for the Temporal API

Tempo is a premium, high-performance wrapper for the ECMAScript Temporal API. Designed for professionals, it combines immutable state-management with a fluent, natural-language engine. It is the modern, type-safe successor to legacy libraries like Moment.js and Luxon.

⚡ Quick Start

import { Tempo } from '@magmacomputing/tempo';

// 🎯 Natural Language Parsing (Deterministic anchor)
const event = new Tempo('next Friday 3pm', { anchor: '2026-10-15' });

// 🔄 Fluent Mutations (Immutable)
const reminder = event.add({ hours: 2 }).set({ minute: 0 });

// ⏳ Comparative Durations
const diff = event.until('2026-12-25');
console.log(diff.iso); // P2M2D

// 📝 Beautiful Formatting
console.log(event.format('{mon} {day}, {yyyy}')); // October 23, 2026

✨ Why Tempo?

• 🏗️ Future Standard: Built natively on the TC39 Temporal proposal. Inherit the reliability of the future standard.
• 🗣️ Natural Language: Resolve complex terms like #quarter.last or "two days ago" with zero configuration.
• 🔄 Cycle Persistence: Shift by semantic terms (Quarters, Seasons) while preserving your relative day-of-period offset.
• ⚡ Zero-Cost Parsing: Lazy evaluation and smart matching ensure instantiation overhead is near-zero.
• 🛡️ Monorepo Resilient: Built for stability in complex environments with proxy-protected registries.
• 📦 Tree-Shakable: Keep your bundle light. Only load what you need—from Fiscal calendars to high-performance Tickers.
