<p><code><strong>toLocaleDateString()</strong></code> 方法返回该日期对象日期部分的字符串，该字符串格式因不同语言而不同。新增的参数 <code>locales</code> 和 <code>options</code> 使程序能够指定使用哪种语言格式化规则，允许定制该方法的表现（behavior）。在旧版本浏览器中， <code>locales</code> 和 <code>options</code> 参数被忽略，使用的语言环境和返回的字符串格式是各自独立实现的。</p>

<h3 id="Parameters" name="Parameters">参数</h3>

<p> 查看<a href="#Browser_Compatibility" title="#Browser_Compatibility">浏览器兼容性</a>小节，看下哪些浏览器支持 <code>locales</code> 和 <code>options</code> 参数，还可以参看<a href="#Example:_Checking_for_support_for_locales_and_options_arguments">例子： 检测 <code>locales</code> 和 <code>options</code> 参数支持情况</a>。</p>

<p>{{page('zh-CN/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/DateTimeFormat','Parameters')}}</p>

<p>The default value for each date-time component property is <code>undefined</code>, but if the <code>weekday</code>, <code>year</code>, <code>month</code>, <code>day</code> properties are all <code>undefined</code>, then <code>year</code>, <code>month</code>, and <code>day</code> are assumed to be "numeric".</p>

<h3 id="Example:_Using_toLocaleDateString" name="Example:_Using_toLocaleDateString">例子：使用<code>toLocaleDateString</code></h3>

<p>没有指定语言环境（locale）时，返回一个使用默认语言环境和格式设置（options）的格式化字符串。</p>

<pre class="brush:js">var date = new Date(Date.UTC(2012, 11, 12, 3, 0, 0));

// toLocaleDateString without arguments depends on the implementation,
// the default locale, and the default time zone
date.toLocaleDateString();
// → "12/11/2012" if run in en-US locale with time zone America/Los_Angeles</pre>

<p><code>locales</code> 和 <code>options</code> 参数不是所有的浏览器都支持。为了检测一种实现环境（implementation）是否支持它们，可以使用不合法的语言标签，如果实现环境支持该参数，则会抛出一个 <code>RangeError</code> 异常，反之会忽略参数。</p>

<pre class="brush: js">function toLocaleDateStringSupportsLocales() {
    try {
        new Date().toLocaleDateString("i");
    } catch (e) {
        return e​.name === "RangeError";
    }
    return false;
}
</pre>

<h3 id="Example:_Using_locales" name="Example:_Using_locales">例子：使用<code>locales</code></h3>

<p>下例展示了本地化日期格式的一些变化。为了在应用的用户界面得到某种语言的日期格式，必须确保使用 <code>locales</code> 参数指定了该语言（可能还需要设置某些回退语言）。</p>

<pre class="brush: js">var date = new Date(Date.UTC(2012, 11, 20, 3, 0, 0));

// formats below assume the local time zone of the locale;
// America/Los_Angeles for the US

// US English uses month-day-year order
alert(date.toLocaleDateString("en-US"));
// → "12/19/2012"

// British English uses day-month-year order
alert(date.toLocaleDateString("en-GB"));
// → "20/12/2012"

// Korean uses year-month-day order
alert(date.toLocaleDateString("ko-KR"));
// → "2012. 12. 20."

// Arabic in most Arabic speaking countries uses real Arabic digits
alert(date.toLocaleDateString("ar-EG"));
// → "<span dir="rtl">٢٠‏/١٢‏/٢٠١٢</span>"

// for Japanese, applications may want to use the Japanese calendar,
// where 2012 was the year 24 of the Heisei era
alert(date.toLocaleDateString("ja-JP-u-ca-japanese"));
// → "24/12/20"

// when requesting a language that may not be supported, such as
// Balinese, include a fallback language, in this case Indonesian
alert(date.toLocaleDateString(["ban", "id"]));
// → "20/12/2012"
</pre>

<h3 id="Example:_Using_options" name="Example:_Using_options">例子：使用<code>options</code></h3>

<p>可以使用 <code>options </code>参数来自定义 <code>toLocaleDateString</code> 方法返回的字符串。</p>

<pre class="brush: js">var date = new Date(Date.UTC(2012, 11, 20, 3, 0, 0));

// request a weekday along with a long date
var options = {weekday: "long", year: "numeric", month: "long", day: "numeric"};
alert(date.toLocaleDateString("de-DE", options));
// → "Donnerstag, 20. Dezember 2012"

// an application may want to use UTC and make that visible
options.timeZone = "UTC";
options.timeZoneName = "short";
alert(date.toLocaleDateString("en-US", options));
// → "Thursday, December 20, 2012, GMT"
</pre>

<h2 id="Performance" name="Performance">性能</h2>

<p>当格式化大量日期时，最好创建一个 <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/DateTimeFormat" title="/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/DateTimeFormat"><code>Intl.DateTimeFormat</code></a> 对象，然后使用该对象 <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/DateTimeFormat/format" title="/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/DateTimeFormat/format"><code>format</code></a> 属性提供的方法。</p>
