View Source Mobilizon.Cldr.Date.Interval (Mobilizon v5.0.0-beta.1)

Interval formats allow for software to format intervals like "Jan 10-12, 2008" as a shorter and more natural format than "Jan 10, 2008 - Jan 12, 2008". They are designed to take a start and end date, time or datetime plus a formatting pattern and use that information to produce a localized format.

@spec to_string(Calendar.date() | nil, Calendar.date() | nil, Keyword.t()) ::
  {:ok, String.t()} | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}

Returns a interval formed from two dates as a localised string.

Arguments

  • from is any map that conforms to the Calendar.date type.

  • to is any map that conforms to the Calendar.date type. to must occur on or after from.

  • options is a keyword list of options. The default is [format: :medium, style: :date].

Either from or to may also be nil, in which case an open interval is formatted and the non-nil item is formatted as a standalone date.

Options

  • :format is one of :short, :medium or :long or a specific format type or a string representing of an interval format. The default is :medium.

  • :style supports dfferent formatting styles. The alternatives are :date, :month_and_day, :month and :year_and_month. The default is :date.

  • locale is any valid locale name returned by Cldr.known_locale_names/0 or a Cldr.LanguageTag struct. The default is Elixir.Mobilizon.Cldr.get_locale/0

  • number_system: a number system into which the formatted date digits should be transliterated

Returns

  • {:ok, string} or

  • {:error, {exception, reason}}

Notes

  • For more information on interval format string see the Cldr.Interval.

  • The available predefined formats that can be applied are the keys of the map returned by Cldr.DateTime.Format.interval_formats("en", :gregorian) where "en" can be replaced by any configuration locale name and :gregorian is the underlying CLDR calendar type.

  • In the case where from and to are equal, a single date is formatted instead of an interval
