@messageformat/date-skeleton

Tools for working with ICU DateFormat skeletons.

import {
  DateFormatError,
  DateToken, // TS only
  getDateFormatter,
  getDateFormatterSource,
  parseDateTokens
} from '@messageformat/date-skeleton';

The package is released as an ES module only. If using from a CommonJS context, you may need to import() it, or use a module loader like esm.

Uses Intl.DateTimeFormat internally. Position-dependent ICU DateFormat patterns are not supported, as they cannot be represented with Intl.DateTimeFormat options.
