This repo currently has dayjs v1.11.13

1. Copy the component into your org and deploy it.

2. Then use the dayjsUtils component to get hold of dayjs instance and use its methods.

...
currentDate() {
  return getDayjs().format('ddd, MMM DD YYYY')
}
...

Updating to New Version

Follow these steps to update to new version

1. Goto npm package https://www.npmjs.com/package/dayjs?activeTab=code
2. Copy the main file esm/index.js and any other files referred from that file
3. Note that we should copy only from esm subfolder as commonjs format is not supported in lwc
4. Make sure you copy the latest dayjs package.json as well into lwc component folder, which contains the version information. Since lwc doesn't like .json extn files as part of lwc component, rename it to .json.txt
