## fromDate
var date=new Date();
var dt=DateTime.fromDate(date);
## fromMoment
Create a DateTime from a moment object
var mmt=moment();
var dt=DateTime.fromMoment(mmt);
## fromObject
DateTime.fromObject{unit: value, ...});
DateTime.fromObject({ hour:15, minute:10 });
DateTime.fromObject({ y :2010, M :3, d :5, h :15, m :10, s :3, ms :123});
DateTime.fromObject({ year :2010, month :3, day :5, hour :15, minute :10, second :3, millisecond :123});
You can create a DateTime by specifying some of the units in an object.
Omitted units default to 0 or the current date, month, and year.
`day` and `date` key both mean day-of-the-month.
Note that `new Date(year, month, date)`, months are 0 indexed.
## fromUnixEpoch
var timestamp=DateTime.fromUnixEpoch();
## toUnixEpoch
var timestamp=DateTime.now().toUnixEpoch();
## toDate
This will return a copy of the `Date` that the DateTime uses, so any changes to that `Date` will not cause DateTime to change. If you want to change the DateTime `Date`, see `DateTime#manipulate` or `DateTime#set`.
## toJSON
When serializing an object to JSON, if there is a `DateTime` object, it will be represented as an ISO8601 string, adjusted to UTC.
JSON.stringify({
postDate : new DateTime()
});
If instead you would like an ISO8601 string that reflects the DateTime's `utcOffset()`, then you can modify the `toJSON` function like this:
DateTime.fn.toJSON = function() { return this.toString(); }
This changes the behavior as follows:
JSON.stringify({
postDate : new DateTime()
});
## toISOString
new DateTime().toISOString();
new DateTime().toISOString(keepOffset);
Formats a string to the ISO8601 standard.
new DateTime().toISOString()
Note that `.toISOString()` returns a timestamp in UTC, even if the DateTime in question is in local mode. This is done to provide consistency with the specification for native JavaScript Date `.toISOString()`, as outlined in [the ES2015 specification](https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-date.prototype.toisostring).
## toObject
returns an object containing year, month, day-of-month, hour, minute, seconds, milliseconds attributes.
new DateTime().toObject()
## toMoment
Create a Moment from a DateTime instance
DateTime#toMoment()
var dt=new DateTime().toMoment();
returns an moment.
new DateTime().toMoment()
