dojo/date/locale::regexp()¶
Builds the regular expression needed to parse a localized date. This is mainly designed as an internal function but is exposed if needed. It defaults to using the current locale and the default formatting options to generate the regular expression but can be controlled using for the formatting options just like other functions in the module.
Usage¶
require(["dojo/date/locale"], function(locale){
// Return a regular expression based on the defaults for the current locale
var exp = locale.regexp();
// Return the short date regular expression for "en-gb" locale
var exp = locale.regexp({
formatLength: "short",
selector: "date",
locale: "en-gb"
});
});
