The flex_t24_lst object is a list of the 24-hour flexible time types which
are widely supported. Flexible time types are classes of time formatting
which can be translated across locales. There are 8
flexible time types of the 24-hour variety in flex_t24_lst.
Examples
The flex_t24_lst object can be incredibly useful when you need to get a
format for 24-hour time formatting that works across all locales. You can
avoid typing errors by using this list and every flexible time type from this
list is guaranteed to work across all supported locales. In this example,
we'll use the "EHms" flexible time type by accessing it from the
flex_t24_lst object.
fdt(
input = "2018-07-04 22:05",
format = flex_t24_lst$EHms,
locale = "en"
)If we wanted this in a different locale, the locale-specific format pattern
behind the flexible date identifier would ensure consistency while moving to
that locale. Let's use the fdt_locales_lst object in the same spirit to
specify the German locale.
fdt(
input = "2018-07-04 22:05",
format = flex_t24_lst$EHms,
locale = fdt_locales_lst$de
)
