Intl\DisplayNamesOptions

When formatting display names, you must provide a FormatPHP\Intl\DisplayNamesOptions instance with at least a type defined.

type

The type of data for which we wish to format a display name. This currently supports currency, language, region, and script.

Note

While ECMA-402 also defines calendar and dateTimeField as additional types, these types are not implemented in Node.js or any browsers. If set, these implementations throw exceptions, so FormatPHP follows the same pattern.

echo $formatphp->formatDisplayName('USD', new Intl\DisplayNamesOptions([
    'type' => 'currency',
])); // e.g., "dólar estadounidense" when the locale is es-ES

fallback

The fallback strategy to use. If we are unable to format a display name, we will return the same code provided if fallback is set to code. If fallback is none, then we return null.

The default is code.

var_export($formatphp->formatDisplayName('FOO', new Intl\DisplayNamesOptions([
    'type' => 'currency',
    'fallback' => 'none',
]))); // e.g., NULL

style

The formatting style to use: long, short, or narrow.

This currently only affects the display name when type is currency. The default is long.

echo $formatphp->formatDisplayName('USD', new Intl\DisplayNamesOptions([
    'type' => 'currency',
    'style' => 'narrow',
])); // e.g., "$"

languageDisplay

This is a suggestion for displaying the language according to the locale’s dialect or standard representation. In JavaScript, this defaults to dialect. For now, PHP supports only the standard representation, so dialect has no effect.
