defmodule Cldr.Date do
@moduledoc """
Provides localization and formatting of a `t:Date.t/0`
struct or any map with one or more of the keys `:year`, `:month`,
`:day` and optionally `:calendar`.
`Cldr.Date` provides support for the built-in calendar
`Calendar.ISO` or any calendars defined with
[ex_cldr_calendars](https://hex.pm/packages/ex_cldr_calendars).
CLDR provides standard format strings for `t:Date.t/0` which
are represented by the formats `:short`, `:medium`, `:long`
and `:full`. This abstraction allows for locale-independent
formatting since each locale and calendar may define the underlying
format string as appropriate.

Formats a date according to a format string
as defined in CLDR and described in [TR35](http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-dates.html).
### Arguments
* `date` is a `t:Date.t/0` struct or any map that contains one or more
of the keys `:year`, `:month`, `:day` and optionally `:calendar`.
* `backend` is any module that includes `use Cldr` and therefore
is a `Cldr` backend module. The default is `Cldr.default_backend!/0`.
* `options` is a keyword list of options for formatting.
### Options
* `:format` is one of `:short`, `:medium`, `:long`, `:full`, or a format ID
or a format string. The default is `:medium` for full dates (that is,
dates having `:year`, `:month`, `:day` and `:calendar` fields). The
default for partial dates is to derive a candidate format ID from the date and
find the best match from the formats returned by
`Cldr.Date.available_formats/3`. See [here](README.md#date-time-and-datetime-localization-formats)
for more information about specifying formats.
* `:locale` any locale returned by `Cldr.known_locale_names/1`.
The default is `Cldr.get_locale/0`.
* `:number_system` a number system into which the formatted datetime digits should
be transliterated. See `Cldr.known_number_systems/0`. The default is
the number system associated with the `:locale`.
* `:prefer` expresses the preference for one of the possible alternative
sub-formats. See the variant preference notes below.
* `:era` which, if set to `:variant`, will use a variant for the era if one
is available in the requested locale. In the `:en` locale, for example, `era: :variant`
will return `CE` instead of `AD` and `BCE` instead of `BC`.
### Variant Preference
* A small number of formats have one of two different alternatives, each with their own
preference specifier. The preferences are specified with the `:prefer` option to
`Cldr.Date.to_string/3`. The preference is expressed as an atom, or a list of one or two
atoms with one atom being either `:unicode` or `:ascii` and one atom being either
`:default` or `:variant`.
* Some formats (at the time of publishng only time formats but that
may change in the future) have `:unicode` and `:ascii` versions of the format. The
difference is the use of ascii space (0x20) as a separateor in the `:ascii` verison
whereas the `:unicode` version may use non-breaking or other space characters. The
default is `:unicode` and this is the strongly preferred option. The `:ascii` format
is primarily to support legacy use cases and is not recommended. See
`Cldr.Date.available_formats/3` to see which formats have these variants.
* Some formats (at the time of publishing, only date and datetime formats) have
`:default` and `:variant` versions of the format. These variant formats are only
included in a small number of locales. For example, the `:"en-CA"` locale, which has
a `:default` format respecting typical Canadian formatting and a `:variant` that is
more closely aligned to US formatting. The default is `:default`.
### Returns
* `{:ok, formatted_string}` or
* `{:error, reason}`
