need advice about date internationalization with JavaScript #2

Closed paulbrie closed 8 years ago

paulbrie commented 8 years ago

Hi all,

this topic seems trivial, but I've spent quite some time on it. So here it is.

I'm using React for a website localized in two languages: RO, EN. My dates are coming from the server in ISO format (example: 2016-09-18T21:15:28.594Z).

Now I would like to localize this date in a human readable format for RO and EN. I would like to get:

I don't find any native solution for this problem. The closest would be toLocaleDateString('fr-FR') - which by the way accepts a localisation parameter, but is still not enough. At this point there's only http://momentjs.com/docs/#/i18n/ which has some solid localization but I wondered if you guys know other ways.

did u look into this?

https://github.com/jquery/globalize

i was a bit mislead by the fact it's part of jquery. nothing to do with it

hi Paul,

As you mentioned, Moment.js seems to be the most useful for dates, because is flexible enough. For React I used react-intl you can find it here https://github.com/yahoo/react-intl

as @raulmatei said, for React you could use react-intl, I've used it and it's quite simple and it has support for date

Thanks to all! That was really helpful, I have a good overview about the options. Will let you know about my choice. Thanks! ;)
