# dateTime

A default format style for formatting dates.

## Declaration

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

## Discussion

Discussion Use this type property when the call point allows the use of Date.FormatStyle; in other words, when the value type is Date. Typically, you use this with 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"] for localeID in localeArray {     print(meetingDate.formatted(.dateTime                                 .day(.twoDigits)                                 .month(.wide)                                 .weekday(.short)                                 .hour(.conversationalTwoDigits(amPM: .wide))                                 .locale(Locale(identifier: localeID)))) }

// Tu, October 27, 5 PM // ti 27 oktober 17 // Tu 27 October, 17 // อ. 27 ตุลาคม 17 // ma 27 octobre à 17 h The default format styles provided are numeric date format and shortened time format. For example: let meetingDate = Date() meetingDate.formatted(.dateTime)) // 10/28/2020, 12:13 AM
