`Intl.DateTimeFormat` is used to format date strings in JavaScript.
---
### Parsing
#### As local time
```js
const date = new Date(2012, 11, 20, 3, 0, 0)
```
#### As UTC time
```js
const date = new Date(Date.UTC(2012, 11, 20, 3, 0, 0))
```
#### From ISO strings
```js
const date = new Date('2018-04-20T12:00:00Z')
```
Note that JavaScript doesn't "store" timezones in a date object. All these date objects, when expressed via `.toString()` or similar, will show the local timezone of the browser, regardless if you parsed UTC dates.
### Formatting dates
#### Default formatting
```js
console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat().format(date))
// → '12/19/2012' (assuming America/Los_Angeles)
```
#### Custom locale
```js
console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-GB').format(date))
// → '19/12/2012' (date-first)
```
#### Custom timezone
```js
console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-AU', {
timeZone: 'Australia/Sydney'
}).format(date))
// → '19/12/2012'
```
### Custom formats
#### Time
```js
console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('default', {
hour: 'numeric',
minute: 'numeric',
second: 'numeric'
}).format(date))
// → '2:00:00 pm'
```
#### Date
```js
console.log(new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', {
year: 'numeric',
month: 'numeric',
day: 'numeric'
}).format(date))
// → '12/19/2012'
```
To specify options without a locale, use `'default'` as a locale.
### All options
```js
{
weekday: 'narrow' | 'short' | 'long',
era: 'narrow' | 'short' | 'long',
year: 'numeric' | '2-digit',
month: 'numeric' | '2-digit' | 'narrow' | 'short' | 'long',
day: 'numeric' | '2-digit',
hour: 'numeric' | '2-digit',
minute: 'numeric' | '2-digit',
second: 'numeric' | '2-digit',
timeZoneName: 'short' | 'long',
// Time zone to express it in
timeZone: 'Asia/Shanghai',
// Force 12-hour or 24-hour
hour12: true | false,
// Rarely-used options
hourCycle: 'h11' | 'h12' | 'h23' | 'h24',
formatMatcher: 'basic' | 'best fit'
}
```
