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'

setYear(year: number)
Set year in the current date object. It only takes positive value i.e Nepali Year

setMonth(month: number)

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
