How are you supposed to do a date in Kotlin JS? I found a great way to do it in regular Kotlin but I don't appear to have access to that and every method in the kotlin.js seems to be depricated.

• https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-datetime is cross-platform
• kotlin.js.Date is not deprecated, where are you seeing that?
• JS Date is pretty poor, JS is in the process of building a replacement datetime api https://tc39.es/proposal-temporal/docs/index.html

kotlin.js.Date is not deprecated, where are you seeing that?

Non-deprecated accessors - inside Duration.Companion

In either case, I'll try the Kotlinx, looks like it'll work so far

I also find that klock works pretty well and has formatting/parsing possibilities: https://github.com/korlibs/klock
