-WARNINGS:
--
-
- this pipe is marked as pure hence it will not be re-evaluated when the input is mutated. - Instead users should treat the date as an immutable object and change the reference when - the - pipe needs to re-run (this is to avoid reformatting the date on every change detection run - which would be an expensive operation). - -
- this pipe uses the Internationalization API. Therefore it is only reliable in Chrome and - Opera - browsers. - -
