Add date format to Language - Danilo - 12-03-2021
CodeIgniter 4.1.5
If I set:
PHP Code:
app\Config\App.php
$defaultLocale = 'it';
With this code:
PHP Code:
use CodeIgniter\I18n\Time;
$miaData = Time::create(2021, 7, 31, 23, 59, 30);
echo "<br>" . $miaData->toFormattedDateString();
OUTPUT:
Quote:lug 31, 2021
This is terrifying to see.
The month has been translated into Italian, but the format is in English (month day year).
But in Italian the date is written: day month year.
This is my suggestion.
system\Language\en\Time.php
ADD
PHP Code:
//Format strings by date and time
'dateTimeFormat' => 'MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss',
'dateFormat' => 'MM/dd/yyyy',
'timeFormat' => 'HH:mm:ss',
'formattedDateFormat' => 'MMM d, yyyy',
system\Language\it\Time.php
ADD
PHP Code:
//Format strings by date and time
'dateTimeFormat' => 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss',
'dateFormat' => 'dd/MM/yyyy',
'timeFormat' => 'HH:mm:ss',
'formattedDateFormat' => 'd MMM yyyy',
system\I18n\Time.php
override this methods:
PHP Code:
public function toDateTimeString(?bool $toLocale = true)
{
$stringFormat = ($toLocale) ? lang('Time.dateTimeFormat') : 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss';
return $this->toLocalizedString($stringFormat);
}
public function toDateString(?bool $toLocale = true)
{
$stringFormat = ($toLocale) ? lang('Time.dateFormat') : 'yyyy-MM-dd';
return $this->toLocalizedString($stringFormat);
}
public function toFormattedDateString(?bool $toLocale = true)
{
$stringFormat = ($toLocale) ? lang('Time.formattedDateFormat') : 'MMM d, yyyy';
return $this->toLocalizedString($stringFormat);
}
public function toTimeString(?bool $toLocale = true)
{
$stringFormat = ($toLocale) ? lang('Time.timeFormat') : 'HH:mm:ss';
return $this->toLocalizedString($stringFormat);
}
AND REPLACE: ->toDateTimeString()
TO: ->toDateTimeString(false)
(4 replacements)
NOW
PHP Code:
echo "<br>" . $miaData->toFormattedDateString();
echo "<br>" . $miaData->toDateTimeString();
echo "<br>" . $miaData->toDateTimeString(false);
$defaultLocale = 'it';

EDIT:
The user can easily overwrite the format, modifying the file MYAPP/app/Language/it/Time.php
