Im on node.js editing a server side file and I want to get the date in mexican spanish format like this:
const bdate = new Date(1980, 4-1, 3);
const birthdate = bdate.toLocaleString('es-MX', { month: 'short', year : 'numeric', day : 'numeric' });
console.log(birthdate);but this produces Apr 3, 1980 whereas it should be: 3-abr-1980
This code works fine on a client side file but not here. What is wrong here?
Thanks.
You can achieve the date format you want with just "es" language instead of "es-MX" and then just substitute the spaces for -. Another solution would be based on this answer, you can achieve the same result with Intl.DateTimeFormat
I provided some examples here:
const bdate = new Date(1980, 4-1, 3);
const birthdate = bdate.toLocaleString('es', { month: 'short', year : 'numeric', day : 'numeric' }).replaceAll(" ", "-");
console.log(birthdate)
function join(t, a, s) {
function format(m) {
let f = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('es', m);
return f.format(t);
}
return a.map(format).join(s);
}
let a = [{day: 'numeric'}, {month: 'short'}, {year: 'numeric'}];
let s = join(bdate, a, '-');
console.log(s);
let ye = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('es', { year: 'numeric' }).format(bdate);
let mo = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('es', { month: 'short' }).format(bdate);
let da = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('es', { day: 'numeric' }).format(bdate);
console.log(`${da}-${mo}-${ye}`);
