PkDateFormatter class

Locale-aware date and time formatting utilities.

All methods accept an optional locale parameter. When omitted, the method falls back to the default locale or the system locale.

PkDateFormatter.shortDate(DateTime.now())             // '2/19/2026'
PkDateFormatter.longDate(DateTime.now())              // 'February 19, 2026'
PkDateFormatter.time(DateTime.now())                  // '3:45 PM'
PkDateFormatter.time(DateTime.now(), use24h: true)    // '15:45'
PkDateFormatter.dateTime(DateTime.now())              // 'Feb 19, 3:45 PM'
PkDateFormatter.relative(DateTime.now()
    .subtract(const Duration(hours: 2)))              // '2 hours ago'
PkDateFormatter.monthYear(DateTime.now())             // 'February 2026'
