Prettify date — prettify_date • salim

Use stringi::stri_datetime_format() instead:

stringi::stri_datetime_format(format = c("date_short", "date_medium", "date_long", "date_full"),
                              locale = "en")

Usage

prettify_date(date, locale = c("en", "de", "en-US", "de-CH"))

Arguments

date: Date to be prettified. A date or something coercible to.
locale: Locale the date should be prettified for. Currently only "en"/"en-US" and "de"/"de-CH" are implemented.

Value

A character scalar.

Details

Note that prettify_date() might only work on (Ubuntu) Linux in the current form since locales are one bitchy hell of a PITA...
