dojo.date.locale offers a library of localization methods to format and parse dates and times.

Introduction

When you want to present dates or times to the user, Javascript only knows how to handle a single locale and language, and the actual format is implementation-dependent, and your web application has no control over these choices.

Dojo comes with a powerful library to format and parse dates and times using local language and conventions, from your choice of hundreds of locales, or as you would like using custom date/time patterns.

Available Methods

dojo.date.locale offers the following methods:

• dojo.date.locale.addCustomFormats

  Adds a reference to a bundle containing localized custom formats to be used by date/time formatting and parsing routines.

• dojo.date.locale.format

  Formats a Date object as a String, using locale-specific settings or custom patterns.

• dojo.date.locale.getNames

  Used to get localized strings from dojo.cldr for day or month names.

• dojo.date.locale.isWeekend

  Determines if the date falls on a weekend, according to local custom.

• dojo.date.locale.parse

  Converts a properly formatted string to a primitive Date object, using locale-specific settings.

• dojo.date.locale.regexp

  Builds the regular needed to parse a localized date
