AMD Date

AMD-compatible JavaScript date printer.

Use Ruby-like string-to-time formats to get a JavaScript date as a string.

Usage

1. Use RequireJS or a similar module loader.
2. Add index.js to your project.
3. Load this script in a define or require (see RequireJS’s docs):

```javascript
require(['path/to/amd-date/index'], function(DateHelper) {
  ...
});
```

4. Inside your module, use the formatDate method by passing it a date and desired output format:

```javascript
  var myDate = new Date();

  var myFormattedDate = DateHelper.formatDate(myDate, '<h1>%B %d <small>%Y</small></h1>');

  console.log(myFormattedDate);
  // => <h1>May 14 <small>2014<small></h1>
```
