let a = new NepaliDate(2054, 10, 10)
a.format('YYYY/MM/DD') // '2054/11/10'
a.format('YYYY MM DD') // '2054 11 10'
a.format('YYYY') // '2054'
a.format('ddd DD, MMMM YYYY') // 'Sunday 10, Falgun 2054'
a.format('To\\day is ddd DD, MMMM YYYY') // 'Today is Sunday 10, Falgun 2054', Note: use '\\' to escape [YMDd]
a.format('DD/MM/YYYY', 'np') //' १०/११/२०५४'
a.format('dd', 'np') // 'आइतबार'
a.format('ddd DD, MMMM YYYY', 'np') // 'आइतबार १०, फाल्गुण २०५४'

Set month in the current date object. It can be positive or negative. Positive values within the month will update the month only and more then month mill increment month and year. Negative value will deduct month and year depending on the value. It is similar to javascript Date API.

Example:

let a = new NepaliDate(2054, 10, 10)
a.setMonth(1) // will make date NepaliDate(2054,1,10);
a.setMonth(-1) // will make date NepaliDate(2053,11,10); To go back to previous month(s) in same or previous year 
a.setMonth(12) // will make date NepaliDate(2054,0,10); To go ahead to coming month(s) in same or coming year

setDate(date: number)

Set date in the current date object. It can be positive or negative. Positive values within the month will update the date only and more then month mill increment month and year. Negative value will deduct month and year depending on the value. It is similar to javascript Date API.

a.setDate(11) // will make date NepaliDate(2054,10,11);
a.setDate(-1) // will make date NepaliDate(2054,9,29); To go back to dates from previous months
a.setDate(45) // will make date NepaliDate(2054,10,15); To go ahead to dates in coming months

static parse(dateString: string): NepaliDate
