preferredOrder
Type: Object or String
parseFormat tries to figure out the the order of day/month/year by itself
if it finds 3 numbers separated by ., - or /. But if it can't, it will fallback
to preferredOrder, which can either be set as an object to differentiate by separator,
or as a simple string.
Default value:
preferredOrder: {
'/': 'MDY',
'.': 'DMY',
'-': 'YMD'
}Usage
parseFormat('10.10.2010', {preferredOrder: 'DMY'});
// ☛ DD.MM.YYYY
parseFormat('10.10.2010', {preferredOrder: 'MDY'});
// ☛ MM.DD.YYYY
parseFormat('10.10.2010', {preferredOrder: {
'/': 'MDY',
'.': 'DMY',
'-': 'YMD'
}});
// ☛ MM.DD.YYYY
parseFormat('10/10/2010', {preferredOrder: {
'/': 'MDY',
'.': 'DMY',
'-': 'YMD'
}});
// ☛ DD/MM/YYYYFine Print
