Integrate ICU international date formatting with Fluent translations
Documentation

fluent-datetime

International datetimes in Fluent translations

fluent-datetime uses ICU4X, in particular [icu_datetime] and [icu_calendar], to format datetimes internationally within a Fluent translation.

Example

This example uses [fluent_bundle] directly.

You may prefer to use less verbose integrations; in which case the bundle.add_datetime_support() line is the only one you need.

use fluent::fluent_args;
use fluent_bundle::{FluentBundle, FluentResource};
use fluent_datetime::{BundleExt, FluentDateTime};
use icu_calendar::DateTime;
use icu_datetime::options::length;
use unic_langid::LanguageIdentifier;

// Create a FluentBundle
let langid_en: LanguageIdentifier = "en-US".parse()?;
let mut bundle = FluentBundle::new(vec![langid_en]);

// Register the DATETIME function
bundle.add_datetime_support();

// Add a FluentResource to the bundle
let ftl_string = r#"
today-is = Today is {$date}
today-is-fulldate = Today is {DATETIME($date, dateStyle: "full")}
now-is-time = Now is {DATETIME($date, timeStyle: "medium")}
now-is-datetime = Now is {DATETIME($date, dateStyle: "full", timeStyle: "short")}
"#
.to_string();

let res = FluentResource::try_new(ftl_string)
    .expect("Failed to parse an FTL string.");
bundle
    .add_resource(res)
    .expect("Failed to add FTL resources to the bundle.");

// Create an ICU DateTime
let datetime = DateTime::try_new_iso_datetime(1989, 11, 9, 23, 30, 0)
    .expect("Failed to create ICU DateTime");

// Convert to FluentDateTime
let mut datetime = FluentDateTime::from(datetime);

// Format some messages with date arguments
let mut errors = vec![];
