How to format a JavaScript date

For custom-delimited date formats, you have to pull out the date (or time) components from a DateTimeFormat object (which is part of the ECMAScript Internationalization API), and then manually create a string with the delimiters you want.

To do this, you can use DateTimeFormat#formatToParts. You could destructure the array, but that is not ideal, as the array output depends on the locale:

{ // example 1
   let f = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en');
   let a = f.formatToParts();
   console.log(a);
}
{ // example 2
   let f = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('hi');
   let a = f.formatToParts();
   console.log(a);
}
