E_UNSUPPORTED: Unsupported {"feature": "year pattern u"}

I'm receiving the following error when I try to format a date

<FormattedDate
            value={new Date()}
            skeleton="dMy"
            />

skeleton="yMd" works fine

Skeletons need to be specified in largest to smallest order so skeleton="yMd" would be the correct skeleton in this case. The date formatting is then carried out based on norms for that particular language/locale, NOT based on the order of your skeleton.

You can see examples of some formatting options in the documentation for the Globalize library: https://github.com/jquery/globalize/blob/master/doc/api/date/date-formatter.md

thanks for the explanation

yMD -> 11/30/2010

what if I want to display year using only 2 digits instead of 4?

is that possible?

[joshswan]

Based on the CLDR documentation, skeleton="yyMd" should work. However, not all skeletons work as expected: globalizejs/globalize#271

If not, this will work: <FormattedDate value={new Date()} date="short" />. The "date", "time", and "datetime" parameters on the date formatter page all work just fine.

thanks I'll try that
