The Intl.DateTimeFormat.prototype.formatRange() method is an inbuilt method in JavaScript that is used to format a date range in the most concise way based on the locale and options provided when instantiating Intl.DateTimeFormat object.
Syntax:
Intl.DateTimeFormat.prototype.formatRange(startDate, endDate)
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- startDate: This parameter holds the starting date of the range.
- endDate: This parameter holds the ending date of the range.
The below examples illustrate the Intl.DateTimeFormat.prototype.formatRange() method in JavaScript:
Example 1: In this example, we will format the date ranges in different formats using Intl.DateTimeFormat.prototype.formatRange() method in JavaScript.
javascript
<script> const neveropen1 = { weekday: 'long', year: 'numeric', month: 'long', day: 'numeric' }; const neveropen2 = { year: '2-digit', month: 'numeric', day: 'numeric' }; const startDate = new Date(Date.UTC(1997, 5, 30, 3, 3, 3)); const endDate = new Date(Date.UTC(2073, 7, 6, 11, 0, 0)); const dateTime = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en', neveropen1); console.log(dateTime.formatRange(startDate, endDate)); const dateTime1 = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('hi', neveropen1); console.log(dateTime1.formatRange(startDate, endDate)); const dateTime2 = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en', neveropen2); console.log(dateTime2.formatRange(startDate, endDate)); const dateTime3 = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('hi', neveropen2); console.log(dateTime3.formatRange(startDate, endDate)); </script> |
Output:
"Monday, June 30, 1997 – Sunday, August 6, 2073" "सोमवार, 30 जून 1997 – रविवार, 6 अगस्त 2073" "6/30/97 – 8/6/73" "30/6/97 – 6/8/73"
Example 2: In this example, we will format the date ranges in different formats using Intl.DateTimeFormat.prototype.formatRange() method in JavaScript.
javascript
<script> let geek1 = new Date(Date.UTC(1997, 5, 30, 10, 0, 0)); let geek2 = new Date(Date.UTC(2020, 2, 26, 11, 0, 0)); let geek3 = new Date(Date.UTC(2073, 6, 23, 10, 0, 0)); let result1 = new Intl.DateTimeFormat("en", { year: '2-digit', month: 'numeric', day: 'numeric', hour: 'numeric', minute: 'numeric' }); console.log(result1.format(geek1)); console.log(result1.formatRange(geek1, geek2)); console.log(result1.formatRange(geek1, geek3)); let result2 = new Intl.DateTimeFormat("hi", { year: 'numeric', month: 'short', day: 'numeric' }); console.log(result2.format(geek1)); console.log(result2.formatRange(geek1, geek2)); console.log(result2.formatRange(geek1, geek3)); </script> |
Output:
"6/30/97, 3:30 PM" "6/30/97, 3:30 PM – 3/26/20, 4:30 PM" "6/30/97, 3:30 PM – 7/23/73, 3:30 PM" "30 जून 1997" "30 जून 1997 – 26 मार्च 2020" "30 जून 1997 – 23 जुल॰ 2073"
