View Source Cldr.Time.Interval (Cldr Dates & Times v2.12.0)
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.Time.Interval.to_string/3
