Usage ​

Basic ​

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useDateFormat, useNow } from '@vueuse/core'

const formatted = useDateFormat(useNow(), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss')
</script>

<template>
  <div>{{ formatted }}</div>
</template>

Use with locales ​

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useDateFormat, useNow } from '@vueuse/core'

const formatted = useDateFormat(useNow(), 'YYYY-MM-DD (ddd)', { locales: 'en-US' })
</script>

<template>
  <div>{{ formatted }}</div>
</template>

Use with custom meridiem ​

vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useDateFormat } from '@vueuse/core'

function customMeridiem(hours: number, minutes: number, isLowercase?: boolean, hasPeriod?: boolean) {
  const m = hours > 11 ? (isLowercase ? 'μμ' : 'ΜΜ') : (isLowercase ? 'πμ' : 'ΠΜ')
  return hasPeriod ? m.split('').reduce((acc, current) => acc += `${current}.`, '') : m
}

const am = useDateFormat('2022-01-01 05:05:05', 'hh:mm:ss A', { customMeridiem })
// am.value = '05:05:05 ΠΜ'
const pm = useDateFormat('2022-01-01 17:05:05', 'hh:mm:ss AA', { customMeridiem })
// pm.value = '05:05:05 Μ.Μ.'
</script>
