Class: module:br/formatting/LocalisedDateFormatter

module:br/formatting/LocalisedDateFormatter

Formats a date value by converting it from a specified input format to a new output format. This supersedes br/formatting/DateFormatter, which although it does provide localisation, is not completely reliable.

LocalisedDateFormatter is typically used with Presenter, but can be invoked programmatically. It can make use of Moment.js localized formats for input and output.

new LocalisedDateFormatter().format('20150525', {inputFormat:'YYYYMMDD' outputFormat: 'LL'})

It uses Moment.js locale configuration to format localized dates.

See module:br/parsing/LocalisedDateParser for the complementary parser.
