Examples

The flex_t12_lst object can be incredibly useful when you need to get a format for 12-hour time formatting that works across all locales. You can avoid typing errors by using this list and every flexible time type from this list is guaranteed to work across all supported locales. In this example, we'll use the "Ehms" flexible time type by accessing it from the flex_t12_lst object.

fdt(
  input = "2018-07-04 22:05",
  format = flex_t12_lst$Bhms,
  locale = "en"
)

#> [1] "10:05:00 at night"

If we wanted this in a different locale, the locale-specific format pattern behind the flexible date identifier would ensure consistency while moving to that locale. Let's use the fdt_locales_lst object in the same spirit to specify the German (Austria) locale.

fdt(
  input = "2018-07-04 22:05",
  format = flex_t12_lst$Bhms,
  locale = fdt_locales_lst$de_AT
)

#> [1] "10:05:00 abends"
