I have overridden the formatDateTime
function of the MagentoFrameworkStdlibDateTimeTimezone
class in Magento 2 to display the timezone abbreviation along with the formatted date. However, I noticed that when using the ‘z’ pattern, it only returns the abbreviation without the full date.
I want to show date like Aug 9, 2023, 5:28:31 AM (EDT)
Here’s the overridden method:
public function formatDateTime($date, $dateType = IntlDateFormatter::SHORT, $timeType = IntlDateFormatter::SHORT, $locale = null, $timezone = null, $pattern = null): string
{
// Call the parent method to get the formatted date
$formattedDate = parent::formatDateTime($date, $dateType, $timeType, $locale, $timezone, $pattern);
// Get the timezone abbreviation
$timezoneAbbreviation = parent::formatDateTime($date, $dateType, $timeType, $locale, $timezone, 'z');
// Concatenate the timezone abbreviation to the formatted date
$formattedDate .= ' (' . $timezoneAbbreviation . ')';
return $formattedDate;
}
Is there any alternative method or pattern that can be used to obtain the full date along with the timezone abbreviation in a single call to the formatDateTime
function? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
