Formatting a date correctly for a global audience is a different problem than storing or converting it between time zones, for that side (native `Date` limitations, the new `Temporal` API, and which library is still current), see Store and Display Dates Properly in JavaScript. This post stays specifically on locale-aware formatting: getting the date order,

Worth leading with directly, since it’s the biggest recent change to this topic: JavaScript now has a native, built-in replacement for the notoriously bad `Date` object. The `Temporal` API reached TC39 Stage 4 (officially part of the language spec) in March 2026 and is already shipping in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge: immutable, timezone-aware, and a

Worth a direct correction before anything else: there’s no Microsoft feature actually called “Office 365 Branding Central.” The real, current feature is the SharePoint Brand Center: and its scope is narrower than a unified branding tool spanning Teams, Outlook, and Power BI. It centralizes logos, fonts, and images for SharePoint experiences specifically, plus organization font

Out-of-the-box SharePoint list and library views come with a command bar full of buttons (New, Upload, Share, Automate, Power Apps) most of which a given audience doesn’t need and shouldn’t necessarily have.

The fundamentals here haven’t changed in years, but two specific things in most existing TypeScript guides have: the default target in a new project’s tsconfig.json, and how decorators actually work as of TypeScript 5.0.

The SharePoint REST API is organized entirely around one root path ({site-url}/_api/) with everything else (lists, files, users, search) hanging off web, site, or a dedicated service beneath it. Here’s a reference list of the endpoints you’ll actually reach for, plus a working example calling one from plain JavaScript. In this post: Site and web

Worth a direct correction before anything else: “Hillbilly Tabs” isn’t a generic jQuery/Script Editor technique. It’s the name of one specific, real, open-source SPFx web part built by Mark Rackley, and describing it as DOM manipulation via a Script Editor web part describes a different, unrelated (and now largely non-functional) approach entirely.

JavaScript has several built-in and third-party ways to format a number as currency. Here are the ones worth knowing, and when to reach for each. 1. toLocaleString: built into JavaScript, formats a number according to the given locale: 2.

A working reference of the CSS properties and techniques that come up constantly when building responsive layouts. Viewport setup, media queries, flexbox and grid, positioning, transforms, and the modern tools (clamp, custom properties, container queries) that are now widely supported enough to actually rely on rather than treat as bleeding-edge.
