Format transform (Luxon)

This example shows the same transform abilities as the Moment.js example, but in this case using the Luxon date/time library. The datetime API is identical so it takes three parameters:

The original date format (please note that the parser is strict - you must exactly match the data format)
The format you want to display
The locale - used for internationalisation.

Note however, although the API is identical, Luxon's formatting tokens are different from Moment.js'. For the full range of Luxon formatting options please see the Luxon documentation.

See the renderers documentation for full details about the renderers available in DataTables.

			render: DataTable.render.datetime('d MMM yyyy', 'MMM d, yy', 'en')
		}
	]
});

new DataTable('#example', {
	columnDefs: [
		{
			targets: 4,
			render: DataTable.render.datetime('d MMM yyyy', 'MMM d, yy', 'en')
		}
	]
});

In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this example:
