Format Date
[component-header:sl-format-date]
Formats a date/time using the specified locale and options.
Localization is handled by the browser's Intl.DateTimeFormat
API. No language packs are required.
<!-- Shoelace 2 release date 🎉 -->
<sl-format-date date="2020-07-15T09:17:00-04:00"></sl-format-date>
The date
prop determines the date/time to use when formatting. It must be a string that Date.parse()
can interpret or a Date
object set via JavaScript. If omitted, the current date/time will be assumed.
?> When using strings, avoid ambiguous dates such as 03/04/2020
which can be interpreted as March 4 or April 3 depending on the user's browser and locale. Instead, always use a valid ISO 8601 date time string to ensure the date will be parsed properly by all clients.
Examples
Date & Time Formatting
Formatting options are based on those found in the Intl.DateTimeFormat
API. When formatting options are provided, the date/time will be formatted according to those values. When no formatting options are provided, a localized, numeric date will be displayed instead.
<!-- Human-readable date -->
<sl-format-date month="long" day="numeric" year="numeric"></sl-format-date><br>
<!-- Time -->
<sl-format-date hour="numeric" minute="numeric"></sl-format-date><br>
<!-- Weekday -->
<sl-format-date weekday="long"></sl-format-date><br>
<!-- Month -->
<sl-format-date month="long"></sl-format-date><br>
<!-- Year -->
<sl-format-date year="numeric"></sl-format-date><br>
<!-- No formatting options -->
<sl-format-date></sl-format-date>
Hour Formatting
By default, the browser will determine whether to use 12-hour or 24-hour time. To force one or the other, set the hourFormat
prop to 12
or 24
.
<sl-format-date hour="numeric" minute="numeric" hour-format="12"></sl-format-date><br>
<sl-format-date hour="numeric" minute="numeric" hour-format="24"></sl-format-date>
