Natively Format JavaScript Dates and Times

Elijah Manor digs into Date’s toLocaleDateString() and toLocaleTimeString() methods to format Dates and Times in JavaScript, with respect to a passed locale.

const date = new Date();

console.log(date.toLocaleDateString('en-US'));
// 7/19/2020

const dateOptions = {
  weekday: 'long',
  year: 'numeric',
  month: 'long',
  day: 'numeric',
};

console.log(date.toLocaleDateString('en-US', dateOptions));
// Sunday, July 19, 2020

console.log(
  date.toLocaleDateString('fr-FR', {
    month: 'long',
  }),
);
// juillet
