Bug Fixes

  • Supports formatting Cldr.Calendar.Duration.t/0 and, on Elixir 1.17 or later, Duration.t/0 structs. For these structs, and only these structs, the :hour can be any number. In other cases the number is required to be in the range 0..24.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.20.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.20.0 released on July 26th, 2024. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

Enhancements

  • Modify the :prefer option of to_string/2 to take a list of preferences. Time formats may sometimes have a :unicode or :ascii preference. Date and datetime formats may have a :default or :variant preference. The :prefer option can now be specified with one or both of these options.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.19.2

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.19.2 released on July 9th, 2024. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Reinstate Cldr.DateTime.Format.date_formats/3 which was incorrectly removed in version 2.19. Version 2.19 made efforts to improve the symmetry of Cldr.Date, Cldr.Time and Cldr.DateTime. Part of that work is to have each of those modules contain the functions formats/3 and available_formats/3. It was not intended at this time that the equivalent functions be removed from Cldr.DateTime.Format. Thanks to @tjchambers for the report. Closes #51.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.19.1

  • Fix Cldr.Date.to_string/2 with the option period: :variant to correctly render the variant "am"/"pm" text.

Enhancements

  • Adds support for partial dates in Cldr.Date.to_string/2. Partial dates are maps with one or more of the fields :year, :month, :day and :calendar.

  • Adds support for partial time in Cldr.Time.to_string/2. Partial times are maps with one or more of the fields :hour, :minute, and :second.

  • Adds support for partial datetimes in Cldr.DateTime.to_string/2. Partial datetimes are maps with one or more of the fields :year, :month, :day, :hour, :minute, :second and :calendar.

  • Adds support for deriving the "best match" format for a date, time or datetime based upon the users requested format or deriving from the available date, time or datetime fields.

  • Adds support for formatting using format IDs (atoms that are keys to locale-independent formats) in Cldr.Date.to_string/2 and Cldr.Time.to_string/2. They have been previously supported in Cldr.DateTime.to_string/2 only.

  • Add MyApp.Cldr.DateTime.Format.common_date_time_format_names/0.

  • Improve the error message if :hour is outside the valid range.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.14.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.14.0 released on August 17th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Updates to ex_cldr version 2.37.0 which includes data from CLDR release 43

  • Adds an option :wrapper to Cldr.DateTime.to_string/2, Cldr.Date.to_string/2 and Cldr.Time.to_string/2. The argument is a 2-arity function that receives the parameters string and tag where tag is an atom denoting the time unit being formatted (for example, :minute or :year or :literal). The function must return either iodata or a "safe string" such as that returned by Phoenix.HTML.Tag.content_tag/3. The function can be used to wrap format elements in HTML or other tags.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.13.3

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.13.3 released on March 13th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

This release requires (and configures) ex_cldr version 2.36.0 or later. That version fixes the interval format data so that formats required by locales that use 24-hour times are not overwritten by data for 12-hour formats. As a result, formatting intervals using a format key directly (ie one of the keys in the map returned by MyApp.Cldr.DateTime.Format.date_time_interval_formats/1) may find the key has changed.

  • Fixes localised time interval formatting to respect the locale's preference for 12-hour or 24-hour times. Thanks to @Gladear for the report and collaboration. Closes #35.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.13.2

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.13.2 released on March 12th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.13.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.13.0 released on October 19th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Updates to CLDR 42. The data time formats for several locales have changed from "<date> at <time>" to "<date>, <time>". This is a new category of formats that retain the at formats but these are not yet exposed in ex_cldr_dates_times.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.12.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.12.0 released on May 7th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Updates to ex_cldr version 2.26.0 and ex_cldr_numbers version 2.25.0 which use atoms for locale names and rbnf locale names. This is consistent with other elements of t:Cldr.LanguageTag where atoms are used when the cardinality of the data is fixed and relatively small and strings where the data is free format.

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.9.2 released on August 14th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug fixes

  • Open interval formats can now also be called directly on the backend. For example:

      iex> MyApp.Cldr.Date.Interval.to_string ~D[2020-01-01], nil
      {:ok, "Jan 1, 2020 –"}

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.9.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.9.1 released on August 14th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug fixes

  • When formatting an open interval (one side is nil) the backend function date_time_interval_fallback/2 is used to retrieve the format pattern. Previously this function was being called with default parameters. Now it is properly called with a locale and a calendar.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.9.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.9.0 released on August 14th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug fixes

  • Fix splitting interval formats when there is no repeating field. Use the principal that standalone formats are equivalent to normal formats when splitting. ie, for this purposes "L" == "M". This means the locale "fa" no longer raises an exception.

Enhancements

  • Allow formatting of intervals where one side is nil. This will produce an open-ended interval. Only one side of the interval can be nil. Thanks to @woylie for the request. Closes #23.

Examples

  iex> Cldr.Date.Interval.to_string ~D[2020-01-01], nil, MyApp.Cldr,
  ...> format: :short
  {:ok, "1/1/20 –"}

  iex> Cldr.Time.Interval.to_string ~U[2020-01-01 00:00:00.0Z], nil, MyApp.Cldr,
  ...> format: :long, style: :flex
  {:ok, "12:00:00 AM UTC –"}

  iex> Cldr.DateTime.Interval.to_string ~U[2020-01-01 00:00:00.0Z], nil, MyApp.Cldr
  {:ok, "Jan 1, 2020, 12:00:00 AM –"}

  • Fixes formatting time intervals that by checking for a format key of :h in addition to the :a and :b format keys (similar to issue #22).

Enhancements

  • Updated to ex_cldr version 2.23.0 which changes the names of some of the field in the "-u-" extension to match the CLDR canonical name. In particular the field name hour_cycle changes to hc. The values for hc also change to the canonical forms of :h12, :h11, :h23 and :h24.

Enhancements

  • Adds backend modules MyApp.Cldr.Date, MyApp.Cldr.Time and MyApp.Cldr.DateTime that contain the functions to_string/2 and to_string!/2. This means all the ex_cldr family of libraries should now be primarily called on the backend modules. This makes aliasing easier too. For example:
defmodule MyApp.Cldr do
  use Cldr, providers: [Cldr.Number, Cldr.DateTime], default_locale: "en"
end

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.0.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.0 released on June 9th, 2019. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

This release depends on ex_cldr_calendars which provides the underlying calendar calculations as well as providing a set of additional calendars.

Breaking Changes

  • ex_cldr_dates_times requires a minimum Elixir version of 1.8. It depends on Calendar capabilities built into this and later release.

  • ex_cldr_dates_times now depends upon ex_cldr version 2.0. As a result it is a requirement that at least one backend module be configured as described in the ex_cldr readme.

  • The public API is now based upon functions defined on a backend module. Therefore calls to functions such as Cldr.DateTime.to_string/3 should be replaced with calls to MyApp.Cldr.DateTime.to_string/3 (assuming your configured backend module is called MyApp.Cldr).

Enhancements

Known limitations

  • Does not calculate week_of_month. If called will return 1 for all input values.

Migration

ex_cldr_dates_times uses the configuration set for the dependency ex_cldr. See the documentation for ex_cldr

Unlike ex_cldr_dates_times version 1, version 2 requires one or more backend modules to host the functions that manage CLDR data. An example to get started is:

  1. Create a backend module:
defmodule MyApp.Cldr do
  use Cldr,
    locales: ["en", "fr", "ja"],
    providers: [Cldr.Number, Cldr.Calendar, Cldr.DateTime]

end
  1. Update config.exs configuration to specify this backend as the system default:
config :ex_cldr,
  default_locale: "en",
  default_backend: MyApp.Cldr
  1. Replace calls to Date. Time and DateTime functions to_string/2 with calls to to_string/3 where the second parameter is a backend module.
