Overview

This library consists of APIs to format and parse numbers, dates, times and file sizes for use in D2L Brightspace.

Looking for the older d2l-intl library? It's still here in the v2.x branch.

Why not just use the standard ECMAScript Internationalization API (ECMA-402) and related polyfills? Firstly, the standard doesn't include any parsing functionality. Additionally, Brightspace supports fine-grained locale customization at the organization and user levels -- configuration that simply isn't present in the native APIs.

Installation & Usage

Install from NPM:

npm install @brightspace-ui/intl

Then import only the functionality you need:

import {formatDate, formatTime} from '@brightspace-ui/intl/lib/dateTime.js';
import {formatNumber, formatPercent} from '@brightspace-ui/intl/lib/number.js';

All of the APIs will automatically detect the document's language via the lang attribute on the <html> element. They'll also look for various data- attributes that will be present in Brightspace pages to access override and timezone information.

Number Formatting

Integer and decimal numbers can be formatted in the user's locale using formatNumber. Percentages can be formatted using formatPercent. Use the optional options parameter for rounding.

import {formatNumber, formatPercent} from '@brightspace-ui/intl/lib/number.js';

const number = formatNumber(8902.72, [options]); // -> '8,902.72' in en-US
const percent = formatPercent(0.333, [options]); // -> '33.3 %' in en-US

Options:

minimumFractionDigits: Minimum number of fraction digits to use. Possible values range from 0 to 20; the default is 0.
maximumFractionDigits: Maximum number of fraction digits to use. Possible values range from 0 to 20; the default is the larger of minimumFractionDigits and 3.

Formatting as an integer (rounded to 0 decimal places):

import {formatNumber} from '@brightspace-ui/intl/lib/number.js';

const value = formatNumber(89.72, {
	maximumFractionDigits: 0
}); // -> '90' in en-US

Formatting as a percentage (rounded to 2 decimal places, but always showing at least 2 decimals):

import {formatPercent} from '@brightspace-ui/intl/lib/number.js';

const value = formatPercent(0.333, {
	minimumFractionDigits: 2,
	maximumFractionDigits: 2
}); // -> '33.30 %' in en-US

Number Parsing

The parseNumber method can be used to parse an integer or decimal number written in the user's locale.

import {parseNumber} from '@brightspace-ui/intl/lib/number.js';

const value = parseNumber('-8 942,39'); // -> -8942.39 in fr-CA

Date/Time Formatting

Dates and times can be formatted in the user's locale using formatDate, formatTime and formatDateTime.

Combined dates and times are formatted using formatDateTime:

import {formatDateTime} from '@brightspace-ui/intl/lib/dateTime.js';

const date = formatDateTime(
	new Date(2015, 8, 23, 14, 5),
	[options]
); // -> '2015-09-23 14:05' in sv-SE

Options:

format: pattern to use when rendering the date-time; default is 'short'.
- full: long weekday, month names and timezone. e.g. 'Wednesday, September 23, 2015 1:25 PM EST'
- medium: long month names. e.g. 'September 23, 2015 1:25 PM'
- short: abbreviated date format. e.g. '9/23/2015 1:25 PM'

To format a date only (without the time portion), use formatDate:

import {formatDate} from '@brightspace-ui/intl/lib/dateTime.js';

const value = formatDate(
	new Date(2015, 8, 23),
	{format: 'full'}
); // -> 'miércoles 23 de septiembre de 2015' in es-MX

Options:

format: pattern to use when rendering the date; default is 'short'.
- full: long weekday and month names. e.g. 'Wednesday, September 23, 2015'
- medium: long month names. e.g. 'September 23, 2015'
- short: abbreviated date format. e.g. '9/23/2015'
- monthYear: month and year only. e.g. 'September 2015'
- monthDay: month and day only. e.g. 'September 23'
- longDayOfWeek: long weekday only. e.g. 'Wednesday'
- shortDayOfWeek: short weekday only. e.g. 'Wed'
- longMonth: long month only. e.g. 'September'
- shortMonth: short month only. e.g. 'Sep'

To format a time only (without the date portion), use formatTime:

import {formatTime} from '@brightspace-ui/intl/lib/dateTime.js';

const time = formatTime(
	new Date(2015, 8, 23, 14, 5)
); // -> '오후 14:05' in ko-KR

Options:

format: pattern to use when rendering the time; default is 'short'.
- full: includes timezone. e.g. '1:25 PM EST'
- medium or short: excludes timezone e.g. '1:25 PM'

Date Parsing

To parse a date written in the user's locale, use parseDate:

import {parseDate} from '@brightspace-ui/intl/lib/dateTime.js';

const date = parseDate('2015-09-23'); // in fr-CA
date.getFullYear(); // -> 2015
date.getMonth(); // -> 8 (months are 0-11)
date.getDate(); // -> 23

Time Parsing

To parse a time written in the user's locale, use parseTime:

import {parseTime} from '@brightspace-ui/intl/lib/dateTime.js';

const date = parseTime('14 h 05'); // in fr-CA
date.getHours(); // -> 14
date.getMinutes(); // -> 5

File Size Formatting

Use formatFileSize to format a file size appropriately for the user's locale.

import {formatFileSize} from '@brightspace-ui/intl/lib/fileSize.js';

const fileSize = formatFileSize(100); // -> '100 bytes' in en-US
