SUI.date
The SUI.date namespace contains a set of utility functions for working with dates.
The JavaScript Date object gives us a lot of functionality, but since we'll be working with SQL type dates (YYYY-MM-DD HH:II:SS) a lot this namespace contains a minimal set of utility functions for conversions between SQL date strings and JavaScript Date objects
