  DateFormats dateFormat = DateFormats.dateDMCY,
  String? separator,
}) {
  if ((format ?? "").isEmpty) {
    if (timeFormat.isUsable && dateFormat.isUsable) {
      format = "${dateFormat.use}'${separator ?? ' '}'${timeFormat.use}";
    } else if (timeFormat.isUsable) {
      format = timeFormat.use;
    } else {
      format = dateFormat.use;
    }
