Intl.DateTimeFormat

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2017.

The Intl.DateTimeFormat object enables language-sensitive date and time formatting.

Try it

const date = new Date(Date.UTC(2020, 11, 20, 3, 23, 16, 738));
// Results below assume UTC timezone - your results may vary

// Specify default date formatting for language (locale)
console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat("en-US").format(date));
// Expected output: "12/20/2020"

// Specify default date formatting for language with a fallback language (in this case Indonesian)
console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat(["ban", "id"]).format(date));
// Expected output: "20/12/2020"

// Specify date and time format using "style" options (i.e. full, long, medium, short)
console.log(
  new Intl.DateTimeFormat("en-GB", {
    dateStyle: "full",
    timeStyle: "long",
    timeZone: "Australia/Sydney",
  }).format(date),
);
// Expected output: "Sunday, 20 December 2020 at 14:23:16 GMT+11"
