The Intl.ListFormat.prototype.formatToParts()
method returns an Array
of objects representing the different components that can be used to format a list of values in a locale-aware fashion.
Syntax
Intl.ListFormat.prototype.formatToParts(list)
Parameters
-
list
-
An
Array
of values to be formatted according to a locale.
Return value
An Array
of components which contains the formatted parts from the list.
Description
Whereas Intl.ListFormat.prototype.format()
returns a string being the formated version of the list (according to the given locale and style options), formatToParts()
returns an array of the different components of the formated string.
Each element of the resulting array has two properties: type
and value
. The type
property may be either "element"
, which refers to a value from the list, or "literal"
which refers to a linguistic construct. The value
property gives the content, as a string, of the token.
The locale and style options used for formatting are given when constructing the Intl.ListFormat
instance.
Examples
const fruits = ['Apple', 'Orange', 'Pineapple']; const myListFormat = new Intl.ListFormat('en-GB', { style: 'long', type: 'conjunction' }); console.table(myListFormat.formatToParts(fruits)); // [ // { "type": "element", "value": "Apple" }, // { "type": "literal", "value": ", " }, // { "type": "element", "value": "Orange" }, // { "type": "literal", "value": ", and " }, // { "type": "element", "value": "Pineapple" } // ]
