Note that ex_cldr_dates_times version 2.14.0 and later are supported on Elixir 1.11 and later only.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.16.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.15.1 released on November 2nd, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix formatting time intervals when the to time is not greater than the from time. This allows time intervals that cross midnight to be formatted correctly. Thanks to @larshei for the report. Closes #42.

  • Fix compiler warnings on Elixir 1.16.

Enhancements

  • Adds options :date_format and :time_format to Cldr.DateTime.Interval.to_string/2 and Cldr.DateTime.to_string/2. These options allow separate formatting of the date and time parts of a datetime, including those that are part of an interval. Thanks to @jmoldrich for the report (and patience). Closes #33.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.15.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.15.0 released on October 17th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Deprecations

Enhancements

  • Add support for "at" style formatting for DateTime structs. This style is documented in TR35 and was introduced in CLDR 43. Thanks to @jueberschlag for the report and motivation to get this done.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.14.3

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.14.3 released on October 10th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix formatting date intervals with :month_and_day style when the last date is in a different year to the first. Thanks to @matt-glover for the report. Closes #40.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.14.2

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.14.2 released on September 24th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix additional typespecs for various functions that allow a string-based locale identifier. Thanks to @jarrodmoldrich for the report.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.14.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.14.1 released on September 23rd, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix typespecs for various functions that allow a string-based locale identifier. Thanks to @jarrodmoldrich for the report. Closes #39.

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

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed interval formats when the format provided is a string (rather than the normal atom-based predefined formats)

  • Fixed setting the number system from options (typographical error)

  • Removed spurious IO.inspect/2 output when the format is a string.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.13.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.13.1 released on November 12th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes doc generation errors (no functional changes to executing code). Closes #34. THanks to @sax for the report and the PR.

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

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.11.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_Dates_Times v2.11.0 released on February 21st, 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.

Cldr_Dates_Times v2.9.2

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 –"}

Bug fixes

  • 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.

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.
