Java 8 - LocalDate with DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate FormatStyle - FULL, SHORT, MEDIUM, LONG

1. Overview

In this post we cover usage of LocalDate.now() with DateTimeFormatter + FormatStyle.

2. Usage example of LocalDate + DateTimeFormatter + FormatStyle

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.time.format.FormatStyle;

public class Example1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();

        System.out.println("# Example 1 - FULL ");
        System.out.println(localDate.format(DateTimeFormatter
                .ofLocalizedDate(FormatStyle.FULL)));

        System.out.println("# Example 2 - LONG ");
        System.out.println(localDate.format(DateTimeFormatter
                .ofLocalizedDate(FormatStyle.LONG)));

        System.out.println("# Example 3- MEDIUM ");
        System.out.println(localDate.format(DateTimeFormatter
                .ofLocalizedDate(FormatStyle.MEDIUM)));

        System.out.println("# Example 4 - SHORT ");
        System.out.println(localDate.format(DateTimeFormatter
                .ofLocalizedDate(FormatStyle.SHORT)));
    }
}
