Usage

By default, the given value is formatted for display with to_string/1. This:

<.datetime value={~U[2023-02-05 12:22:06.003Z]} />

Will be rendered as:

<time datetime="2023-02-05T12:22:06.003Z">
  2023-02-05 12:22:06.003Z
</time>

You can also pass a custom formatter function. For example, if you are using ex_cldr_dates_times in your application, you could do this:

<.datetime
  value={~U[2023-02-05 14:22:06.003Z]}
  formatter={&MyApp.Cldr.DateTime.to_string!/1}
/>

Which, depending on your locale, may be rendered as:

<time datetime="2023-02-05T14:22:06.003Z">
  Feb 2, 2023, 14:22:06 PM
</time>

The component can also truncate the value before passing it to the formatter.

<.datetime
  value={~U[2023-02-05 12:22:06.003Z]}
  precision={:minute}
/>

If you pass a title_formatter, a title attribute is added to the element. This can be useful if you want to render the value in a shortened or relative format, but still give the user access to the complete value. Note that the title attribute is only be accessible to users who use a pointer device. Some screen readers may however announce the datetime attribute that is always added.

<.datetime
  value={@datetime}
  formatter={&relative_date/1}
  title_formatter={&MyApp.Cldr.DateTime.to_string!/1}
/>

Finally, the component can shift a DateTime to a different time zone:

<.datetime
  value={~U[2023-02-05 23:22:05Z]}
  timezone="Asia/Tokyo"
/>

Which would be rendered as:

<time datetime="2023-02-06T08:22:05+09:00">
  2023-02-06 08:22:05+09:00 JST Asia/Tokyo
</time>
<.datetime value={~U[2023-02-05 12:22:06.003Z]}/>
<.datetime value={~U[2023-02-05 12:22:06.003Z]} formatter={&DateTime.to_unix/1}/>
<.datetime value={~U[2023-02-05 12:22:06.003Z]} title_formatter={&DateTime.to_unix/1}/>
<.datetime value={~U[2023-02-05 12:22:06.003Z]} precision={:minute}/>
<.datetime value={~U[2023-02-05 23:22:05Z]} timezone="Asia/Tokyo"/>
