icu_datetime is one of the ICU4X components.
This API provides necessary functionality for formatting date and time to user readable textual representation.
DateTimeFormat is the main structure of the component. It accepts a set of arguments which
allow it to collect necessary data from the DataProvider, and once instantiated, can be
used to quickly format any date and time provided.
```rust use iculocidmacros::langid; use icu_datetime::{DateTimeFormat, date::MockDateTime, options::style};
let provider = icutestdata::getprovider();
let lid = langid!("en");
let options = style::Bag { date: Some(style::Date::Medium), time: Some(style::Time::Short), ..Default::default() }.into();
let dtf = DateTimeFormat::try_new(lid, &provider, &options) .expect("Failed to create DateTimeFormat instance.");
let date: MockDateTime = "2020-09-12T12:35:00".parse() .expect("Failed to parse date.");
let formatteddate = dtf.format(&date); asserteq!(formatteddate.tostring(), "Sep 12, 2020, 12:35 PM"); ```
At the moment, the crate provides only options using the Style bag, but in the future,
we expect to add more ways to customize the output, like skeletons, and components.
Notice: Rust at the moment does not have a canonical way to represent date and time. We are introducing
MockDateTime as an example of the data necessary for ICU DateTimeFormat to work, and
we hope to work with the community to develop core date and time APIs that will work as an input for this component.
