This vignette teaches you how makeup can help you when working with date values.

Working with samples

One of the principal makeup argument is sample =. In it you can set the output date format as you need for your project.

date_value <- as.Date("2020-03-04")

# Example 1
makeup(v = date_value,
       sample = "Junio 4 de 2011")


# Example 2
makeup(v = date_value, 
           sample = "Junio 4 2011")


# Example 3
makeup(v = date_value, 
       sample = "4 de junio de 2011")

Working with locale

makeup also supports a wide variety of output format languages by setting locale = argument from one of the package available_locales:

available_locales

So, setting the locale argument makeup can work like this:

# Example 1 - Colombia
makeup(v = date_value, 
       locale = "es-CO")


# Example 2 - Deutsch - Deutschland
makeup(v = date_value, 
       locale = "de-DE")


# Example 3 - English-USA
makeup(v = date_value, 
       locale = "en-US")


# Example 4 - Frenc - France
makeup(v = date_value, 
       locale = "fr-FR")


# Example 5 - Portuguese - Brazil
makeup(v = date_value, 
       locale = "pt-BR")

Working with format

You can set the output with a particular date format. For example, if you need something like: "March 04 2020" you'll have to set the following combination:

• %B --> Unabbreviated month

• %d --> Day as a number

• %Y --> 4-digit year

and with makeup you can:

# Example 1: format = "%B %d %Y"

makeup(v = date_value,
       format = "%B %d %Y")
