See Cldr.Calendar.Preference.calendar_from_territory/1.

Return the calendar module for a locale.

Arguments

• :locale is any locale or locale name validated by Cldr.validate_locale/2. The default is Cldr.get_locale() which returns the locale set for the current process.

Returns

• {:ok, calendar_module} or

• {:error, {exception, reason}}

Examples

iex> Cldr.Calendar.Preference.calendar_from_locale(:"en-GB")
{:ok, Cldr.Calendar.GB}

iex> Cldr.Calendar.Preference.calendar_from_locale("en-GB-u-ca-gregory")
{:ok, Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian}

iex> Cldr.Calendar.Preference.calendar_from_locale(:en)
{:ok, Cldr.Calendar.US}

iex> Cldr.Calendar.Preference.calendar_from_locale("en-u-ca-iso8601")
{:ok, Cldr.Calendar.ISOWeek}

iex> Cldr.Calendar.Preference.calendar_from_locale("en-u-fw-mon")
{:ok, Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian}

iex> Cldr.Calendar.Preference.calendar_from_locale(:"fa-IR")
{:ok, Cldr.Calendar.Persian}

iex> Cldr.Calendar.Preference.calendar_from_locale("fa-IR-u-ca-gregory")
{:ok, Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian}

Returns the calendar module preferred for a territory.

Arguments

• territory is any valid ISO3166-2 code as an String.t/0 or upcased t.atom/0.

Returns

• {:ok, calendar_module} or

• {:error, {exception, reason}}

Examples

iex> Cldr.Calendar.Preference.calendar_from_territory :US
{:ok, Cldr.Calendar.US}

iex> Cldr.Calendar.Preference.calendar_from_territory :YY
{:error, {Cldr.UnknownTerritoryError, "The territory :YY is unknown"}}

Notes

The overwhelming majority of territories have :gregorian as their first preferred calendar and therefore Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian will be returned for most territories.

Returning any other calendar module would require:

1. That another calendar is preferred over :gregorian for a territory.

2. That a calendar module is available to support that calendar.

As an example, Iran (territory :IR) prefers the :persian calendar. If the optional library ex_cldr_calendars_persian is installed, the calendar module Cldr.Calendar.Persian will be returned. If it is not installed, Cldr.Calendar.Gregorian will be returned as :gregorian is the second preference for :IR.
