Examples

Using format

The following example shows how to create a List formatter using the English language.

js
const list = ["Motorcycle", "Bus", "Car"];

console.log(
  new Intl.ListFormat("en-GB", { style: "long", type: "conjunction" }).format(
    list,
  ),
);
// Motorcycle, Bus and Car

console.log(
  new Intl.ListFormat("en-GB", { style: "short", type: "disjunction" }).format(
    list,
  ),
);
// Motorcycle, Bus or Car

console.log(
  new Intl.ListFormat("en-GB", { style: "narrow", type: "unit" }).format(list),
);
// Motorcycle Bus Car

Using formatToParts

The following example shows how to create a List formatter returning formatted parts

js
const list = ["Motorcycle", "Bus", "Car"];
console.log(
  new Intl.ListFormat("en-GB", {
    style: "long",
    type: "conjunction",
  }).formatToParts(list),
);

// [ { "type": "element", "value": "Motorcycle" },
//   { "type": "literal", "value": ", " },
//   { "type": "element", "value": "Bus" },
//   { "type": "literal", "value": ", and " },
//   { "type": "element", "value": "Car" } ];
