# dateTime

A style for formatting a date and time.

## Declaration

```swift
static var dateTime: Date.FormatStyle { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this type property when the call point allows the use of Date.FormatStyle. You typically do this when calling the formatted(_:) method of Date. Customize the date format style using modifier syntax to apply specific date and time formats. For example: let meetingDate = Date() let localeArray = ["en_US", "sv_SE", "en_GB", "th_TH", "fr_BE"] let formattedDates = localeArray.map { localeID in     meetingDate.formatted(.dateTime                           .day(.twoDigits)                           .month(.wide)                           .weekday(.short)                           .hour(.conversationalTwoDigits(amPM: .wide))                           .locale(Locale(identifier: localeID)))         } // ["Mo, July 31 at 05 PM", "må 31 juli 17", "Mo, 31 July at 17", "จ. 31 กรกฎาคม เวลา 17", "lu 31 juillet à 17 h"] The default format styles provided are numeric date format and shortened time format. For example: let meetingDate = Date() let formatted = meetingDate.formatted(.dateTime) // "7/31/2023, 5:15 PM"
