View Source Cldr.Date.Interval (Cldr Dates & Times v2.17.0)
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.Date.Interval.to_string/3
.
Summary
Functions
Returns the format code representing the date or time unit that is the greatest difference between two dates.
Returns a Date.Range
or CalendarInterval
as
a localised string.
Returns a localised string representing the formatted interval formed by two dates.
Returns a Date.Range
or CalendarInterval
as
a localised string or raises an exception.
Returns a localised string representing the formatted interval formed by two dates or raises an exception.
Functions
Returns the format code representing the date or time unit that is the greatest difference between two dates.
Arguments
Returns
{:ok, format_code}
whereformat_code
is one of:y
meaning that the greatest difference is in the year:M
meaning that the greatest difference is in the month:d
meaning that the greatest difference is in the day
{:error, :no_practical_difference}
Example
iex> Cldr.Date.Interval.greatest_difference ~D[2022-04-22], ~D[2022-04-23]
{:ok, :d}
iex> Cldr.Date.Interval.greatest_difference ~D[2022-04-22], ~D[2022-04-22]
{:error, :no_practical_difference}
@spec to_string(Cldr.Interval.range(), Cldr.backend(), Keyword.t()) :: {:ok, String.t()} | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}
Returns a Date.Range
or CalendarInterval
as
a localised string.
Arguments
range
is either aDate.Range.t
returned fromDate.range/2
or aCalendarInterval.t
backend
is any module that includesuse Cldr
and is therefore aCldr
backend module.options
is a keyword list of options. The default is[format: :medium, style: :date]
.
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:date
,:month_and_day
,:month
and:year_and_month
. The default is:date
.:locale
is any valid locale name returned byCldr.known_locale_names/0
or aCldr.LanguageTag.t/0
struct. The default isCldr.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
CalendarInterval
support requires adding the dependency calendar_interval to thedeps
configuration inmix.exs
.For more information on interval format string see the
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
andto
are equal, a single date is formatted instead of an interval.
