Intl.Locale.prototype.calendar - JavaScript 编辑

The Intl.Locale.prototype.calendar property is an accessor property which returns the type of calendar used in the Locale.

Description

The calendar property returns the part of the Locale that indicates the Locale's calendar era. While most of the world uses the Gregorian calendar, there are several regional calendar eras used around the world. The following table shows all the valid Unicode calendar key strings, along with a description of the calendar era they represent.

Examples

Adding a calendar in the Locale string

Calendar eras fall under the category of locale key "extension keys". These keys add additional data about the locale, and are added to locale identifiers by using the -u extension. Thus, the calendar era type can be added to the inital locale identifier string that is passed into the Intl.Locale constructor. To add the calendar type, first add the -u extension to the string. Next, add the -ca extension to indicate that you are adding a calendar type. Finally, add the calendar era to the string.

let frBuddhist = new Intl.Locale("fr-FR-u-ca-buddhist");
console.log(frBuddhist.calendar); // Prints "buddhist"

Adding a calendar with a configuration object

The Intl.Locale constructor has an optional configuration object argument, which can contain any of several extension types, including calendars. Set the calendar property of the configuration object to your desired calendar era, and then pass it into the constructor.

let frBuddhist = new Intl.Locale("fr-FR", {calendar: "buddhist"});
console.log(frBuddhist.calendar); // Prints "buddhist"
