SPACE

Pad with spaces during formatting. During parsing, padding is required; otherwise, parsing fails.

Samples

import kotlinx.datetime.*

import kotlin.test.*

fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   // Defining a custom format that uses spaces for padding
val format = LocalDate.Format {
    monthNumber(Padding.SPACE)
    char('/')
    dayOfMonth()
    char(' ')
    year()
}
val leoFirstReignStart = LocalDate(457, 2, 7)
check(leoFirstReignStart.format(format) == " 2/07 0457")
// providing leading zeros on parsing instead of spaces is allowed:
check(LocalDate.parse(" 2/07 0457", format) == leoFirstReignStart)
check(LocalDate.parse("02/07 0457", format) == leoFirstReignStart) 
   //sampleEnd
