The below examples illustrate the Intl.DateTimeFormat.prototype.format() method in JavaScript:
Example 1: In this example, we will print the specific dates, and days in three different languages and one modified pattern.
const Geeks = {
weekday: 'long', year:
'numeric', month: 'long', day: 'numeric'
};
const dateformat = new Date(1997, 06, 30);
const dateTimeFormat4 = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('hi', Geeks);
console.log(dateTimeFormat4.format(dateformat));
const dateTimeFormat2 = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-GB', Geeks);
console.log(dateTimeFormat2.format(dateformat));
const dateTimeFormat1 = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('sr-RS', Geeks);
console.log(dateTimeFormat1.format(dateformat));
const dateTimeFormat3 = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', Geeks);
console.log(dateTimeFormat3.format(dateformat));
Output:
"बुधवार, 30 जुलाई 1997"
"Wednesday, 30 July 1997"
"среда, 30. јул 1997."
"Wednesday, July 30, 1997"
Example 2: In this example, we will print the specific dates, and days in three different languages.
let list = [new Date(2012, 08), new Date(2012, 11),
new Date(2012, 03)];
let geeks = { year: 'numeric', month: 'long' };
let dateTime = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('hi', geeks);
let result = list.map(dateTime.format);
console.log(result.join(' <-> '));
let dateTime1 = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('tr', geeks);
let result1 = list.map(dateTime1.format);
console.log(result1.join(' ; '));
let dateTime2 = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('LT', geeks);
let result2 = list.map(dateTime2.format);
console.log(result2.join(' :: '));
Output:
"सितंबर 2012 <-> दिसंबर 2012 <-> अप्रैल 2012"
"Eylül 2012 ; Aralık 2012 ; Nisan 2012"
"2012 m. rugsėjis :: 2012 m. gruodis :: 2012 m. balandis"
