Calendar format returns wrong date

See original GitHub issue

Hello!

I have the following snippet:

import calendar from 'dayjs/plugin/calendar';
dayjs.extend(calendar);

return dayjs().calendar(dayjs(date), {
        sameDay: '[Today]',
        nextDay: '[Tomorrow]',
        nextWeek: 'dddd',
        lastDay: '[Yesterday]',
        lastWeek: '[Last] dddd',
        sameElse: 'DD/MM/YYYY',
 });

The problems , in my opinion, are :

if the date falls under the sameElse category i get the date of today ( since today is 16/11/2020, i get 16/11/2020 for all dates that fall under sameElse)
all dates under next and last are inverted - meaning if i choose 17/11/2020, i get yesterday, and i if choose 15/11/2020, i get tomorrow
also, for dates such as 18/11/2020,19/11/2020 i get last Monday instead of Wednesday or Thursday, and for dates such as 14/11/2020 i get Monday instead of last Sunday

If I’m missing something from the documentation, please let me know, but in my opinion this isn’t the right behaviour for this function.

Thank you for your time!

I solved this issue by switching the two dates :

// wrong
dayjs().calendar(dayjs(date))

// good
dayjs(date).calendar(dayjs())

// better!
dayjs(date).calendar()

I don’t know if the issue is about the documentation or the calendar plugin.

Any update on this? I’m patching the plugin for now similar to what @borie88 helpfully suggested above. Just curious if this will make it into the library.

Here’s a reproduction if anyone else encountering this issue wants to look: https://codesandbox.io/s/billowing-dream-7obed
