Implementation

String format(NepaliDateTime date) {
  if (_firstRun) {
    _checkPattern = _pattern;
    _firstRun = false;
  }
  for (var i = 0; i < _matchers.length; i++) {
    final regex = _matchers[i];
    final match = regex.firstMatch(_checkPattern);

    if (_checkPattern.isEmpty) return _pattern;

    if (match != null) {
      final matchedString = match.group(0);
      if (matchedString != null) {
        _checkPattern = _checkPattern.substring(matchedString.length);
        switch (i) {
          case 0:
            _trim(matchedString);
            format(date);
            break;
          case 1:
            _format(matchedString, date);
            format(date);
            break;
          case 2:
            _index += matchedString.length;
            format(date);
            break;
        }
      }
