Cldr.Time.Interval (Cldr Dates & Times v2.6.0) View Source

Interval formats allow for software to format intervals like "Jan 10-12, 2008" as a shorter and more natural format than "Jan 10, 2008 - Jan 12, 2008". They are designed to take a start and end date, time or datetime plus a formatting pattern and use that information to produce a localized format.

See Cldr.Interval.to_string/3 and Cldr.Time.Interval.to_string/3

Functions

to_string(from, to, backend, options \\ [])

Returns a string representing the formatted interval formed by two times.

to_string!(from, to, backend, options \\ [])

Returns a string representing the formatted interval formed by two times.

Link to this section Functions

to_string(from, to, backend, options \\ [])

Returns a string representing the formatted interval formed by two times.

Arguments

from is any map that conforms to the Calendar.time type.
to is any map that conforms to the Calendar.time type. to must occur on or after from.
backend is any module that includes use Cldr and is therefore Cldr backend module
options is a keyword list of options. The default is [].

Options

:format is one of :short, :medium or :long or a specific format type or a string representing of an interval format. The default is :medium.
:style supports dfferent formatting styles. The alternatives are :time, :zone, and :flex. The default is :time.
locale is any valid locale name returned by Cldr.known_locale_names/0 or a Cldr.LanguageTag struct. The default is Cldr.get_locale/0
number_system: a number system into which the formatted date digits should be transliterated

Returns

{:ok, string} or
{:error, {exception, reason}}

Notes

For more information on interval format string see Cldr.Interval.
The available predefined formats that can be applied are the keys of the map returned by Cldr.DateTime.Format.interval_formats("en", :gregorian) where "en" can be replaced by any configured locale name and :gregorian is the underlying CLDR calendar type.
In the case where from and to are equal, a single time is formatted instead of an interval
