Date Format · BookMD

Date formatting with @atom-forge/date-format @atom-forge/date-format is a lightweight JavaScript/TypeScript date formatter built on Intl.DateTimeFormat . Templates control field order and separators; the locale and timezone control the displayed values. This book takes you from choosing the package to writing predictable templates and handling localization and timezones safely. What you will learn When to choose this package, how to call dateFormat, what each token means, and how to avoid surprises caused by date parsing and runtime timezone defaults. Reading path Overview — purpose, scope, and how formatting works. Installation and API — your first call and the four parameters. Tokens and templates — the complete token reference. Locales and timezones — displaying the same instant in different contexts. Recipes and testing — practical patterns, validation, and reproducible tests. Predictable examples Examples generally use an explicit instant and timezone rather than the current time or your machine's timezone. Localized wording still depends on the runtime's internationalization data.
