Daily Version Update

A completely useless NPM package that does just one thing: returns today's date.
It gets a new version every single day, because... why not? 🤷‍♂️

🚀 Installation

npm install get-current-day

📌 Usage

import today from 'get-current-day';

console.log(today()); // "2025-04-01"

That's it. Nothing more, nothing less.

🔄 Automatic Daily Updates

Every day, a GitHub Action publishes a new version of the package to match the current date. If you want to stay up-to-date with the latest version of today, just keep updating the package daily:

npm update get-current-day

The package version number is the publication date (YYYY.MM.DD). This lets you test a prior release or pin down the dependency to a certain date:

npm install --save-exact [email protected]

Tip: npm install uses the ^ version modifier by default, which may jeopardize the reproducibility of your builds. To ensure you install the exact version you require, use the --save-exact command line option.

🎉 Why does this exist?

  • Because we can.
  • Because daily package updates are fun.
  • Because "what even is time?"

But more seriously:

  • Think Before You Code: Not every idea, no matter how clever, is worth implementing.
  • Sustainability Matters: Every line of code has an environmental impact. As developers, we must be mindful of our carbon footprint.
  • Choose Your Libraries Wisely: Not all libraries are created equal. Some may seem useful but can introduce unnecessary complexity or even be outright harmful.

Feel free to open an issue or a pull request... but honestly, there's nothing to improve here. 😆
