Description
In #3268 I suggest using the CLDR data to autogenerate locale information. But the current locale data only provides a short
and long
option. The CLDR data supports four lengths: short
, medium
, long
and full
. You can see an example here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cldr#cldrextractdateformatslocaleidroot-calendaridgregorian
The current locale
formats roughly correspond to the short
and medium
formats in CLDR. I suggest adding the long
and full
formats as well. Given that banglejs is first and foremost a watch, it makes sense to me that there is extensive support for datetime formats. I can also see that some of the locales use longer formats in the long
version. I have mentioned in #3268 that we probably need to make those shorter to ensure compat with apps, but we could still allow apps to explicitly opt in to a longer format by supporting all four CLDR formats.
Because the data is autogenerated from CLDR data, this change can be applied by me for all locales.
