icu_datetime
icu_datetime
is one of the ICU4X
components.
This API provides necessary functionality for formatting date and time to user readable textual representation.
[DateTimeFormat
] is the main structure of the component. It accepts a set of arguments which
allow it to collect necessary data from the DataProvider
, and once instantiated, can be
used to quickly format any date and time provided.
Examples
use Locale;
use langid;
use ;
let provider = get_provider;
let locale: Locale = langid!.into;
// See the next code example for a more ergonomic example with .into().
let options = Length;
let dtf = try_new
.expect;
let date: MockDateTime = "2020-09-12T12:35:00".parse
.expect;
let formatted_date = dtf.format;
assert_eq!;
The options can be created more ergonomically using the Into
trait to automatically
convert a [options::length::Bag
] into a [DateTimeFormatOptions::Length
].
use Locale;
use langid;
use ;
let options = Bag .into;
let dtf = try_new;
At the moment, the crate provides only options using the Length
bag, but in the future,
we expect to add more ways to customize the output, like skeletons, and components.
Notice: Rust at the moment does not have a canonical way to represent date and time. We are introducing
MockDateTime
as an example of the data necessary for ICU [DateTimeFormat
] to work, and
we hope to work with the community
to develop core date and time APIs that will work as an input for this component.
