Intl.DateTimeFormat.prototype.resolvedOptions()

None.

A new object with properties reflecting the options computed during the initialization of this DateTimeFormat object. The object has the following properties, in the order they are listed:

locale

The BCP 47 language tag for the locale actually used, determined by the locale negotiation process. Only the ca, hc, and nu Unicode extension keys, if requested, may be included in the output.

calendar

The value provided for this property in the options argument, or using the Unicode extension key "ca", with default filled in as needed. It is a supported calendar type for this locale. The default is locale dependent.

numberingSystem

The value provided for this property in the options argument, or using the Unicode extension key "nu", with default filled in as needed. It is a supported numbering system for this locale. The default is locale dependent.

timeZone

The value provided for this property in the options argument, with default filled in as needed. It is a canonicalized IANA time zone name. The default is the runtime's default time zone.

Note: While the IANA database changes from time to time, the Unicode CLDR database (which browsers use) keeps old time zone names for stability purposes. All browsers canonicalize time zone names, but in different directions. For example, new Intl.DateTimeFormat("en-US", { timeZone: "Europe/Kiev" }).resolvedOptions().timeZone and new Intl.DateTimeFormat("en-US", { timeZone: "Europe/Kyiv" }).resolvedOptions().timeZone will return the same string in the same browser, but maybe different strings in different browsers. See Intl.Locale.prototype.getTimeZones for more information.

hourCycle Optional

The value provided for this property in the options argument, or using the Unicode extension key "hc", with default filled in as needed. If hour12 was provided in the options, then that overrides other hourCycle settings. It is only present if the resolved options also include hour or timeStyle. It is either "h11", "h12", "h23", or "h24". The default is locale dependent, although "h24" is never a default.

hour12 Optional

Calculated from hourCycle. It is only present if the resolved options also include hour or timeStyle. It is true if hourCycle is "h11" or "h12", and false if hourCycle is "h23" or "h24".

weekday, era, year, month, day, dayPeriod, hour, minute, second, fractionalSecondDigits, timeZoneName Optional

The values resulting from format matching between the corresponding properties in the options argument and the available combinations and representations for date-time formatting in the selected locale. Some of these properties may not be present, indicating that the corresponding components will not be represented in formatted output. weekday, era, and dayPeriod are either "narrow", "short", or "long"; year, day, hour, minute, and second are either "numeric", "2-digit", or "narrow"; month is either "numeric", "2-digit", "narrow", "short", or "long"; fractionalSecondDigits is either 1, 2, or 3; timeZoneName is either "short", "long", "shortOffset", "longOffset", "shortGeneric", or "longGeneric".

If these properties were requested in options, the constructor prevents dateStyle and timeStyle from being specified, so the below group will never be present.

dateStyle, timeStyle Optional

The values provided for these properties in the options argument. They are either "full", "long", "medium", "short", or "none". Some of these properties may not be present, indicating that the corresponding components will not be represented in formatted output.

If these properties were requested in options, the constructor prevents individual date time component options from being specified, so the above group will never be present.

Note: Although dateStyle and timeStyle are shortcuts for individual date and time component styles, the exact (locale dependent) component styles they resolve to are not included in the resolved options. This ensures the result of resolvedOptions() can be passed directly to the Intl.DateTimeFormat() constructor (because an options object with both dateStyle or timeStyle and individual date or time component styles is not valid).

The Intl.DateTimeFormat constructor without any options uses the current system settings. You can use resolvedOptions() to get the user's current time zone and locale's preferred calendar and numbering system:

const systemOptions = new Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions();
systemOptions.timeZone; // e.g., "Europe/Brussels" or "Asia/Riyadh"
systemOptions.calendar; // e.g., "gregory" or "islamic-umalqura"
systemOptions.numberingSystem; // e.g., "latn" or "arab"
systemOptions.locale; // e.g., "nl-BE" or "ar-SA"
