Class: module:br/formatting/DateFormatter

module:br/formatting/DateFormatter

Formats a date value by converting it from a specified input format to a new output format.

DateFormatter is typically used with Presenter, but can be invoked programmatically as in the following examples which evaluate to "09-Sep-2001 01:46:40" and "2001Sep09" respectively:

new br.formatting.DateFormatter().format(1e12, {inputFormat:"U"})
new br.formatting.DateFormatter().format(1e12, {inputFormat:"U", outputFormat:"YMd"})

See module:br/presenter/parser/DateParser for the complementary parser.
