clock_labels: Create or retrieve date related labels

In clock: Date-Time Types and Tools

Create or retrieve date related labels

Description

When parsing and formatting dates, you often need to know how weekdays of the week and months are represented as text. These functions allow you to either create your own labels, or look them up from a standard set of language specific labels. The standard list is derived from ICU (https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/) via the stringi package.

• clock_labels_lookup() looks up a set of labels from a given language code.

• clock_labels_languages() lists the language codes that are accepted.

• clock_labels() lets you create your own set of labels. Use this if the currently supported languages don't meet your needs.

Usage

clock_labels(
  month,
  month_abbrev = month,

  weekday_abbrev = weekday,
  am_pm
