  {:ok, String.t()} | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}

Formats a DateTime according to a format string as defined in CLDR and described in TR35

Arguments

  • datetime is a DateTime.t/0 or t:NaiveDateTime.t/0struct or any map that contains one or more of the keys :year, :month, :day, :hour, :minute and :second or :microsecond with optional :time_zone, :zone_abbr, :utc_offset, :std_offset and :calendar fields.

  • options is a keyword list of options for formatting.

Options

  • :format is one of :short, :medium, :long, :full or a format string or any of the keys in the map returned by Cldr.DateTime.date_time_formats/3. The default is :medium. See here for more information about specifying formats.

  • :date_format is any one of :short, :medium, :long, :full. If defined, this option is used to format the date part of the date time. This option is only acceptable if the :format option is not specified, or is specified as either :short, :medium, :long, :full. If :date_format is not specified then the date format is defined by the :format option.

  • :time_format is any one of :short, :medium, :long, :full. If defined, this option is used to format the time part of the date time. This option is only acceptable if the :format option is not specified, or is specified as either :short, :medium, :long, :full. If :time_format is not specified then the time format is defined by the :format option.

  • :style is either :at or :default. When set to :at the datetime may be formatted with a localised string representing <date> at <time> if such a format exists. See Cldr.DateTime.Format.date_time_at_formats/2.

  • :prefer is either :unicode (the default) or :ascii. A small number of formats have two variants - one using Unicode spaces (typically non-breaking space) and another using only ASCII whitespace. The :ascii format is primarily to support legacy use cases and is not recommended. See Cldr.DateTime.available_formats/3 to see which formats have these variants.

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

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

  • :era which, if set to :variant, will use a variant for the era if one is available in the requested locale. In the :en locale, for example, era: :variant will return CE instead of AD and BCE instead of BC.

  • period: :variant will use a variant for the time period and flexible time period if one is available in the locale. For example, in the :en locale period: :variant will return "pm" instead of "PM".

Returns

  • {:ok, formatted_datetime} or

  • {:error, reason}
