Class: module:br/parsing/LocalisedDateParser

module:br/parsing/LocalisedDateParser

Matches a date string and converts it to a specified output format. This supersedes module:br/parsing/DateParser, which although it does provide localisation, is not completely reliable.

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

new LocalisedDateParser().parse('09/08/2000', {inputFormats: ['MM/DD/YYYY'], outputFormat: 'LL'})

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

See module:br/formatting/LocalisedDateFormatter for the complementary formatter.
