Date Hover Preview

Features

Hover over a string in any document that represents a date, and get a small preview that converts that date to a configurable set of timezones and formats.

Hoverable formats currently include:

• Unix Time (9-10 digits as seconds/11-14 digits as milliseconds)
• ISO 8601

Extension Settings

• date-hover-preview.detect.ISO-8601String: Whether to detect ISO-8601 format date string when hovering.
• date-hover-preview.detect.unixTime: Whether to detect Unix epoch time when hovering. Currently supports 9-10 digits (as seconds) or up to 14 digits (as milliseconds).
• date-hover-preview.primaryPreview.enable: Show primary date preview.
• date-hover-preview.primaryPreview.name: Show as the name of primary preview section.
• date-hover-preview.primaryPreview.format: Primary date preview format, described in day.js format documentation. Leave empty to use ISO-8601 format. See below for a quick reference.
• date-hover-preview.primaryPreview.utcOffset: UTC offset for the primary preview expressed as a number of hours between -16 and 16 (any number outside of that range will be interpreted as minutes).
• date-hover-preview.primaryPreview.timezone: Timezone for the primary preview. Timezones are expressed like "PST" or "America/Los_Angeles". This setting will take precedence over date-hover-preview.primaryPreview.utcOffset. If both are left blank this will use your local timezone. For a list of timezones, see the TZ database name column.
• date-hover-preview.additionalPreviews: An array of additional preview items.
• date-hover-preview.additionalPreviews[].name: Show as the name of this additional preview.
• date-hover-preview.additionalPreviews[].format: Used to format preview display. Leave empty to use ISO-8601 format.
