Methods

getDateFnsLocale(locale: IETF, { fallbackLocale }): DateFnsLocale

Returns a date-fns locale object to use with date-fns. If a direct match is not found, it'll try to detect the closest locale, otherwise it uses a fallback. The default fallback is en-US.

import { getDateFnsLocale } from "@locale-tools/datetime";

const dateFnsLocaleDirect = getDateFnsLocale("en-AU"); // en-AU locale object

const dateFnsLocaleClosest = getDateFnsLocale("es-PY"); // es locale object (no es-PY date-fns locale object)

const dateFnsLocaleFallback = getDateFnsLocale("aay"); // there is no 'aay' locale or a closest match, so this will returns en-US locale object as a fallback

const dateFnsLocaleFallbackCustom = getDateFnsLocale("aay", {
  fallbackLocale: "en-CA"
}); // will return en-CA as a fallback

getDatePatternForLocale(locale: IETF)

Returns the date format pattern (e.g. 'dd-MM-yyyy') for a given IETF locale.

import { getDatePatternForLocale } from "@locale-tools/datetime";

const datePattern = getDatePatternForLocale("nl-AW"); // returns "dd-MM-yyyy"

getDateTimeForTimezone({ date, dateTimeFormat, timezone, serverTimezone }): Date

Returns a date formatted and converted to a given timezone.

import { getDateTimeForTimezone } from "@locale-tools/datetime";

const dateTimeInTimezone = getDateTimeForTimezone({
  date: 1636911831222,
  dateTimeFormat: "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm",
  timezone: "Africa/Windhoek"
});
// returns "14-11-2021 19:44"
