The toLocaleDateString() method returns a string with a language sensitive representation of the date
portion of this date. The new locales and options arguments let applications specify the language whose
formatting conventions should be used and allow to customize the behavior of the function. In older
implementations, which ignore the locales and options arguments, the locale used and the form of the string
returned are entirely implementation dependent.
Syntax
dateObj.toLocaleDateString([locales [, options]])
Parameters
Check the Browser compatibility section to see which browsers support the locales and options arguments,
and the Example: Checking for support for locales and options arguments for feature detection.
locales
Optional. A string with a BCP 47 language tag, or an array of such strings. For the general form and
interpretation of the locales argument, see the Intl page. The following Unicode extension keys are allowed:

The locale matching algorithm to use. Possible values are "lookup" and "best fit"; the default is
"best fit". For information about this option, see the Intl page.
timeZone
The time zone to use. The only value implementations must recognize is "UTC"; the default is the
runtime's default time zone. Implementations may also recognize the time zone names of the

The representation of the month. Possible values are "numeric", "2-digit", "narrow", "short",
"long".
day
The representation of the day. Possible values are "numeric", "2-digit".
hour
The representation of the hour. Possible values are "numeric", "2-digit".
minute
The representation of the minute. Possible values are "numeric", "2-digit".
second
The representation of the second. Possible values are "numeric", "2-digit".
timeZoneName
The representation of the time zone name. Possible values are "short", "long".
The default value for each date-time component property is undefined, but if the weekday, year, month, day
properties are all undefined, then year, month, and day are assumed to be "numeric".
Examples
Using toLocaleDateString()
In basic use without specifying a locale, a formatted string in the default locale and with default options is
returned.

try {
new Date().toLocaleDateString('i');
} catch (e) {
return e.name === 'RangeError';
}
return false;
}
Using locales
This example shows some of the variations in localized date formats. In order to get the format of the language
used in the user interface of your application, make sure to specify that language (and possibly some fallback
languages) using the locales argument:

console.log(date.toLocaleDateString('en-US'));
// "12/19/2012"

console.log(date.toLocaleDateString('en-GB'));

Using options
The results provided by toLocaleDateString() can be customized using the options argument:
2
3
var options = { weekday: 'long', year: 'numeric', month: 'long', day: 'numeric' };
console.log(date.toLocaleDateString('de-DE', options));
7
8
options.timeZone = 'UTC';
10
options.timeZoneName = 'short';
11
console.log(date.toLocaleDateString('en-US', options));

Performance
When formatting large numbers of dates, it is better to create an Intl.DateTimeFormat object and use the
function provided by its format property.
