Locales

For date, time and currency formatting, Transphporm supports Locales. Currently only enGB is supplied but you can write your own.

To set a locale, use the builder::setLocale method. This takes either a locale name, for a locale inside Formatter/Locale/{name}.json e.g.

$template = new \Transphporm\Builder($xml, $tss);
$template->setLocale('enGB');

Currently only enGB is supported. Alternatively, you can provide an array which matches the format used in Formatter/Locale/enGB.json.

Date formats

Transphporm supports formatting dates. Either you can reference a \DateTime object or a string. Strings will be attempted to be converted to dates automatically:

$xml = '
<div> </div>
';

$tss = 'div {content: "2015-12-22"; format: date}';

$template = new \Transphporm\Builder($xml, $tss);

echo $template->output()->body;

This will format the date using the date format specified in the locale. For enGB this is d/m/Y

<div>22/12/2015</div>

Alternatively you can specify a format as the second parameter of the formatter. Valid formats are those used by the PHP date command, as described in the manual. Example:

$xml = '
<div> </div>
';

$tss = 'div {content: "2015-12-22"; format: date "jS M Y"}';

$template = new \Transphporm\Builder($xml, $tss);

echo $template->output()->body;

<div>22nd Dec 2015</div>

You can also format using time which defaults to H:i in the locale:

$xml = '
<div> </div>
';

$tss = 'div {content: "2015-12-22 14:34"; format: time}';

$template = new \Transphporm\Builder($xml, $tss);

echo $template->output()->body;

<div>14:34</div>

Relative times

You can supply the relative formatter to a date, which will display things like:

• "Tomorrow"
• "Yesterady"
• "Two hours ago"
• "3 weeks ago"
• "In 3 months"
• "In 10 years"

Use the format: date relative; directive to select this option. The strings are specified in the locale.
