Description

I'd like to parse a date string to a Date. These functions would be helpful.

Any reason why they are not exported?

@jeffrey-planon Hello!

Maskito contains a lot of internal (not public API!) utility.
We don't expose them on purpose – we are not ready to promise backward compatibility for them (our experience shows that their function signatures can be changed in any release even for any small bugs).
So, we don't have plans to move parseDateString and segmentsToDate to public API.

However, we already had plans to create public utilities similar already existing maskitoParseTime / maskitoStringifyTime.

import {maskitoParseDate, maskitoStringifyDate, MaskitoDateParams} from '@maskito/kit';

export function maskitoDateOptionsGenerator(params: MaskitoDateParams): MaskitoOptions;

export function maskitoParseDate(value: string, params: MaskitoDateParams): Date;
export function maskitoStringifyDate(date: Date, params: MaskitoDateParams): string; 

Let's this issue will be devote to these functions.
