Given a

LocalDate

, how do I format it as a localized string?

java.time.LocalDate()

has a

format()

method, but the kotlinx version doesn't, and so far my google searches are unsuccessful.

Looks like it is very limited. https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-datetime#converting-instant-and-local-datetime-to-and-from-string

Thanks for the reply. I ended up with this stopgap:

fun LocalDate.toJavaLocalDate(): java.time.LocalDate {
    return java.time.LocalDate.ofEpochDay(this.toEpochDays().toLong())
}

someLocalDate.toJavaLocalDate().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("LLL dd"))

if you're using the library in Kotlin Multiplatform code then there's example of setting up that formatter for various platforms in https://github.com/joreilly/Confetti

Thanks, that'll be helpful as we're attempting to convert our Android project to KMM now.
