Bento Date Display
Usage
The Bento Date Display component displays time data that you can render in your page. By providing specific attributes in the
Bento Date Display tag, the Bento Date Display extension returns a list of time
parameters, which you can pass to
an amp-mustache template
for rendering. Refer to the
list below for each returned time parameter.
Web Component
You must include each Bento component's required CSS library to guarantee proper loading and before adding custom styles. Or use the light-weight pre-upgrade styles available inline. See Layout and style.
The examples below demonstrate use of the <bento-date-display> web component.
Example: Import via npm
[example preview="top-frame" playground="false"]
Install via npm:
npm install @ampproject/bento-date-display
import '@ampproject/bento-date-display';
[/example]
Example: Include via <script>
The example below contains an bento-date-display with three sections. The
expanded attribute on the third section expands it on page load.
[example preview="top-frame" playground="false"]
<head>
<script src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/custom-elements-polyfill.js"></script>
<script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/bento-date-display-1.0.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/bento-date-display-1.0.css">
</head>
<body>
<bento-date-display
datetime="2021-09-09T16:02:08.494Z"
displayIn="utc"
locale="en-GB"
>
<template type="amp-mustache">
<div>ISO: {{iso}}; locale: {{localeString}}`}</div>
</template>
</bento-date-display>
</body>
[/example]
Interactivity and API usage
The Bento Date Display component does not have an imperative API. However, the Bento Date Display Web Component will render a mustache-template, provided by the consumer in a <template> tag with type="amp-mustache". This template may interpolate date-related parameters. See the Returned Time Parameters section for a full list of all the available parameters.
Layout and style
Each Bento component has a small CSS library you must include to guarantee proper loading without content shifts. Because of order-based specificity, you must manually ensure that stylesheets are included before any custom styles.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/bento-date-display-1.0.css">
Alternatively, you may also make the light-weight pre-upgrade styles available inline:
<style data-bento-boilerplate>
bento-date-display {
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
</style>
Attributes
datetime
The datetime attribute specifies the date and time in a standard ISO 8601 date
string (e.g. 2017-08-02T15:05:05.000Z) or the string now. If set to now,
bento-date-display will use the time the page loaded to render its template.
timestamp-ms
The timestamp-ms attribute specifies the date and time using the number of
milliseconds since 1970-01-01T0:00:00.000Z
timestamp-seconds
The timestamp-seconds attribute specifies the date and time using the number
of seconds since 1970-01-01T0:00:00.000Z
locale (optional)
An internationalization language string for each timer unit. The default value
is en (for English). This attribute supports all values that are supported by
the user's browser.
display-in (optional)
If set to the value utc, the display-in attribute will convert the given
date to UTC.
offset-seconds (optional)
The offset-seconds attribute specifies an integer number of seconds to shift
the given date.
data-options-\* (optional)
The data-options-* supports all the options under Intl.DateTimeFormat.options
parameter that specifies the formatting style to use for localeString format.
Valid attributes include: data-options-date-style, data-options-time-style, etc.
Note that if display-in attrubute is set to utc, the value of
data-options-time-zone will automatically be converted to UTC.
Styling
You may use the bento-date-display element selector to style the Bento Date Display component freely.
Preact/React Component
The examples below demonstrates use of the <BentoDateDisplay> as a functional component usable with the Preact or React libraries.
Example: Import via npm
[example preview="top-frame" playground="false"]
Install via npm:
npm install @ampproject/bento-date-display
import React from 'react';
import { BentoDateDisplay } from '@ampproject/bento-date-display/react';
import '@ampproject/bento-date-display/styles.css';
function App() {
return (
<BentoDateDisplay
datetime={dateTime}
displayIn={displayIn}
locale={locale}
render={(date) => (
<div>{`ISO: ${date.iso}; locale: ${date.localeString}`}</div>
)}
/>
);
}
[/example]
Interactivity and API usage
The Bento Date Display component does not have an imperative API. However, the Bento Date Display Preact/React component does accept a render prop that renders the consumer's template. This render prop should be a function which the Bento Date Display Preact/React component can use to render its template. The render callback will be provided a variety of date-related parameters for consumers to interpolate in the rendered template. See the render prop section for more information.
Layout and style
The Bento Date Display Preact/React component allows consumers to render their own templates. These templates may use inline styles, <style> tags, Preact/React components that import their own stylesheets.
Props
datetime
Required prop. Denotes the date and time as a Date, String, or Nuumber. If String, must be a
standard ISO 8601 date string (e.g. 2017-08-02T15:05:05.000Z) or the string now. If set to now, it will use the time the page loaded to render its template. If Number, must be a POSIX epoch value in milliseconds.
displayIn
Optional prop that can be either "utc" or "local" and defaults to "local". This prop indicates what timezone to display the date in. If set to the value "utc", the component will convert the given date to UTC.
locale
An internationalization language string for each timer unit. The default value is en (for English). This prop supports all values that are supported by the user's browser.
localeOptions
The localeOptions object supports all the options under Intl.DateTimeFormat.options parameter that specifies the formatting style to use for localeString format.
Note that if the displayIn prop is set to utc, the value of localeOptions.timeZone will automatically be converted to UTC.
render
Optional callback that should render a template. The callback will be provided an object with properties/values related to the date expressed in datetime.
By default, the Bento Date Display component will display the localeString form of the Date for the given locale and localeOption.
See the Returned Time Parameters section for more details on how each property will be displayed.
