A flexible date parser library for Rust.

Put this in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
fuzzydate = "0.3"

See the fuzzydate crate README for more information.

use fuzzydate::parse;

fn main() {
    let input = "five days after this friday";
    let date = parse(input).unwrap();
    println!("{:?}", date);
}

This project also provides a small command-line interface for the fuzzydate library. See the crate-level READMEs for more information and examples:

• Library (fuzzydate): fuzzydate/README.md
• CLI (fuzzydate-cli): fuzzydate-cli/README.md

The CLI parses human-friendly date expressions and prints a chrono-formatted datetime. For example:

$ fuzzydate 5 minutes after friday at noon
2025-11-28T12:05:00-08:00

See fuzzydate --help for options and usage.

cargo install fuzzydate-cli --locked
