Package Exports

nativescript-intl

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (nativescript-intl) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Welcome to the nativescript-intl plugin for NativeScript framework

Prerequisites

installed NativeScript
installed NativeScript-CLI

Install `nativescript-intl` plugin.

Navigate to project folder and run NativeScript-CLI command tns plugin add nativescript-intl.

This plugin provides similar to Intl.js API for date, time and number formatting on a mobile device (Android and iOS).

How to use

var intl = require("nativescript-intl");
var dateFormat = new intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', {'year': 'numeric', 'month': 'short', 'day': 'numeric'}).format(new Date(2016, 2, 23));
var numberFormat = new intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {'style': 'currency', 'currency': 'USD', 'currencyDisplay': 'symbol'}).format(123456.789);

console.log("dateFormat: " + dateFormat);
console.log("numberFormat: " + numberFormat);
// prints Mar 23, 2016
// $123456.79

Since localization formatting is not exactly same on Android, iOS and Intl.js there is another option to use this API.

Custom pattern

var intl = require("nativescript-intl");
var dateFormat = new intl.DateTimeFormat(null, null, 'y MMMM d, EEEE HH:mm:ss').format(new Date(2016, 2, 23, 12, 35, 40));
var numberFormat = new intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {'style': 'currency', 'currency': 'USD', 'currencyDisplay': 'symbol'}, '#,##0.00 ¤').format(123456.789);

console.log("dateFormat: " + dateFormat);
console.log("numberFormat: " + numberFormat);
// prints 2016 March 23, Wednesday 2016 12:35:40
// 123,456.79 $

Omitting locale will use the current locale setting on device.

Keep in mind that ICU versions differ accross device OS versions, so this plugin could produce different results on a different API level (Android) and OS version (iOS).
