Date Formatting Strings
Date formatting strings are used throughout the API and determine how a given Moment object is rendered to a string.
FullCalendar leverages MomentJS for most date-related operations including formatting dates:
However, FullCalendar has extended Moment’s functionality a bit by adding additional formatting characters:
| T | renders "A" or "P" (one-letter, uppercase, for AM or PM) |
|---|---|
| t | renders "a" or "p" (one-letter, lowercase, for AM or PM) |
| ( ... ) | only renders the enclosed string if one or more non-zero digits |
These formatting characters are only available to moments generated via the API as well as moments created with one of the special moment constructors.
Formatting ranges
Many parts of the API accept formatting strings for ranges, two dates that denote a start and end time. Some examples include titleFormat and timeFormat.
In this scenario, FullCalendar intelligently inserts a dash between the two dates, yielding something like "Sep 2 - 9 2013". Internally, formatRange is used for this.
