# DateTimeFormat Lib Convert time to time string by mask. Implemented from ```javascript Libs.DateTimeFormat.format(time, mask); ``` Example: ```javascript var now = new Date(); Libs.DateTimeFormat.format(now, "m/dd/yy"); Libs.DateTimeFormat.format(now, "ddd mmm dd yyyy HH:MM:ss"); Libs.DateTimeFormat.format(now, "h:MM TT"); ``` | Mask | Description | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `d` | Day of the month as digits; no leading zero for single-digit days. | | `dd` | Day of the month as digits; leading zero for single-digit days. | | `ddd` | Day of the week as a three-letter abbreviation. | | `dddd` | Day of the week as its full name. | | `m` | Month as digits; no leading zero for single-digit months. | | `mm` | Month as digits; leading zero for single-digit months. | | `mmm` | Month as a three-letter abbreviation. | | `mmmm` | Month as its full name. | | `yy` | Year as last two digits; leading zero for years less than 10. | | `yyyy` | Year represented by four digits. | | `h` | Hours; no leading zero for single-digit hours (12-hour clock). | | `hh` | Hours; leading zero for single-digit hours (12-hour clock). | | `H` | Hours; no leading zero for single-digit hours (24-hour clock). | | `HH` | Hours; leading zero for single-digit hours (24-hour clock). | | `M` |
