formatAsKotlinBuilderDsl

fun formatAsKotlinBuilderDsl(format: DateTimeFormat<*>): String(source)

Produces Kotlin code that, when pasted into a Kotlin source file, creates a DateTimeFormat instance that behaves identically to format.

The typical use case for this is to create a DateTimeFormat instance using a non-idiomatic approach and then convert it to a builder DSL.

Samples

import kotlinx.datetime.*
import kotlinx.datetime.format.*
import kotlin.test.*

fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   // Printing a given date-time format as a Kotlin code snippet that creates the same format
val customFormat = LocalDate.Format {
    @OptIn(FormatStringsInDatetimeFormats::class)
    byUnicodePattern("MM/dd yyyy")
}
val customFormatAsKotlinCode = DateTimeFormat.formatAsKotlinBuilderDsl(customFormat)
check(
    customFormatAsKotlinCode.contains("""
        monthNumber()
        char('/')
        dayOfMonth()
        char(' ')
        year()
    """.trimIndent())
) 
   //sampleEnd
