Date

Use to display the date. Year will not display if it is the current year.

DateTime defaults to the "America/New_York" timezone. Date ignores timezone.

Please note: this kit could potentially change the dates on you!

This is because the Javascript Date class does not have the concept of a date without time. If you pass a Ruby Date string to JavaScript, you will receive a date and a time which makes use of the timezone it infers from your browser based on your virtual geolocation or custom browser settings.

For example, if you pass a date like "7/2/2022" and your browser is on London time, Javascript will convert this to "7/2/2022 at 0:00 BST".

Subsequently, if you have not passed in a timezone to this kit, it will convert that time into US Eastern Time (default), making the resulting date and time "7/1/2022 at 19:00 EST". In this case the expected July 2 date will now be presented as July 1.

// *Development Note* -  We are reviewing this kit for a potential name change due to naming collisions when `new Date()` is used.
// To avoid this bug, please use name spacing as shown in the code examples. ie `import { Date as AliasedComponentName } from 'playbook-ui'

import { Date as FormattedDate } from 'playbook-ui'

const DateAlignment = (props) => {

      <FormattedDate
          dayOfWeek

          icon
          value={new Date('25 Dec 2020')}

          alignment="right"
          value={new Date()}

    </div>
  )
}

export default DateAlignment

Unstyled

For alternative typography styles, you can pass a boolean prop called unstyled to the Date kit and wrap it in any of our typography kits (Title, Body, Caption, etc.). This will allow the Date kit to inherit any of our typography styles.

import React from 'react'

import { Caption, Date as FormattedDate, Title } from 'playbook-ui'

const DateUnstyled = (props) => {
  return (
    <>
      <Caption
          size="xs"
          text="Basic unstyled example"
      />
      <FormattedDate
          unstyled
          value={new Date()}
      />

      <br />

      <Caption
          size="xs"
          text="Example with wrapping typography kit"
      />
      <Title
          size={1}
      >
        <FormattedDate
            unstyled
            value={new Date('25 Dec 1995')}
        />
      </Title>

      <br />

      <Caption
          size="xs"
          text="Example with icon + subcaption"
      />
      <Caption
          size="xs"
      >
        <FormattedDate
            showDayOfWeek
            showIcon
            unstyled
            value={new Date('25 Dec 1995')}
        />
      </Caption>
    </>
  )
}

export default DateUnstyled
